Tonight I sit here as Callie Giggles. I love to hear her sounds. It is so nice to see her happy given all this poor little girl has gone though. She is a fighter and always will be. I really am so proud of her.
Tomorrow is her big day. She will be having her Chiair Malformation Surgery which 'is a malformation of the brain. It consists of a downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum (the opening at the base of the skull), sometimes causing non-communicating." (Wikipedia) They will be removing a piece of Callie's skull and pulling it back in the bottom to make a little more room. At the same time she has this done she will have her shunt moved to her lower back. This way there will not be anything in her head for hardware. Hopefully this will prevent infection as well.
Yesterday we were hoping to get a PICC line (IV line she can go home on) put in, however do to a really busy OR they did not do. Instead she got it put in today. Thankfully this time it was the first try and success!! What a little trooper and a Great Doctor!
Not it is time for lots of prayers and quick healing!
