Rowan's having a shunt revision

Friends & Family, Rowan has been having occasional episodes of feeling bad for the last few months. He will have headaches and act very tired and typically after a nap he feels better. We've been suspecting that his shunt hasn't been working properly for a few months. After a few more prolonged episodes we asked the neurosurgeon to schedule an MRI. He had the MRI this morning and it showed enlarged ventricles so a shunt revision is necessary. He will be having surgery tonight at 8pm. We ask you to say a prayer for him and the whole family. Stephanie will spend the night at home with Huxton and I'll stay overnight with Rowan at the hospital. 

Rowan might be wearing lots of hats to hide his bad haircut after surgery.
Huxton says "get well brother"
