re-assuring us that this procedure was the best for his current medical condition and for his long term survival. We also appreciate the PICU nurses, Anesthesiologists and PICU Doctors for watching over our boy.
Meanwhile, arriving back at Sloan feels like returning to your old neighborhood, where every face has a name and a story, a place where we really do not have to explain much because they know us, they know Andrew Aidan. It feels good and thankfully we got our old bed back, good old 926-A. It's the best. Even AA felt comfortable as soon as we walked in he seemed more relaxed while across the street at Cornell he seemed upset at everyone and everything. Over here he has had a bit more to drink and seems to be a bit more settled. We will work on getting some nice pics of him tomorrow and posting them for you. Lastly, I feel inclined to remind people of the sensitive nature of the VP Shunt AA had placed. He had this because there are issues with flow of CSF (Cerebral Spinal Fluid) through his spine and brain. The importance of CSF is amazing for the following reason. This fluid that flows up and down our brain and spine serves many functions, but one function that it serves is to cushion these two living organs from the rigors of being alive inside a human body. Good night.
