4 weeks old and back to surgery

Rowan is 4 weeks old today and unfortunately spent the day seeing the pediatrician and neurosurgeon. Thanks to a very caring and attentive mom Steph noticed a few signs showing that his shunt might not be functioning correctly. After a quick assessment by the pediatrician Rowan saw the neurosurgeon who felt his condition warranted surgery. His shunt wasn't draining correctly so a portion that was clogged was replaced. Certainly not what we hoped for today but he's doing well now. He's still waking up from anesthesia and we'll all three be spending the night at the hospital. We should go home tomorrow. Please lift up a prayer for Rowan that he wakes up calmly and starts to eat.
