Very few words are needed with pictures like these, which tell the story of this week:
Oxygen removed, leaving just the feeding tube. Because he had a rough time after the surgery, the little pads were left in place in case there was further need to be hooked up again.
Held secure.
"Tube and tape free!"
Mummy's and Daddy's observations this week:
"His head circumference came down by 1 cm and his skull seems more stable (less thin and fragile to touch). His hand grip is back to being strong and he is responding appropriately - a long step from the little, quiet rag doll that we saw over the previous 10-14 days. His neurosurgery team are happy with his progress and his MRI yesterday showed some reduction in the dilation of his ventricles. They anticipate about a 2 week period for things to settle out for Levi's new baseline ...
"We've been able to have lots of time holding our boy, which seems to be the best therapy for him ... and us.
"We continue to pray for protection from infection and malfunction of the shunt, but are so grateful to God for making the way clear - first to wait, and then to proceed at the right time - His time ...
"We thank the Lord that He is patient with us, He is wise and He is kind, as some have reminded us. We thank you for loving us and reminding us of who God is when the darkness hides His face."
