Surgery tonight

Thomas is on-call for surgery tonight, probably after 6:00. I was able to get a pass and go see him this morning. He is such a trooper, wires and monitors all over him and yet he is still pretty content. I was able to change his diaper, which was nice, made me feel like his mom. We were there when the docs did their rounds so we were able to hear the run down on him. They will do the repair surgery and place an external drain for the fluid in his head until he is healed enough for the shunt surgery in a few days.  It is hard to not be able to hold him when he fusses, but he is doing amazing.
