Surgery Day
It was a long day, but we are through the worst part! The doctor ended up having to do the open procedure because the bone was so thick, so we were a little sad about that, but we feel like he made the decision that would be best for Everett. Needless to say, he is a very sad baby and it has been hard seeing him in so much pain. He is getting a blood transfusion right now, and looks much better because of it. He will probably swell quite a bit in the next 24-48 hours, but should be able to come home by Thursday. I can barely keep my eyes open so I promise I will write more and post pictures tomorrow! Thank you all so much for the prayers, thoughts, emails, and support. We have felt so much love and I know it has made me stronger through all of this! We are so grateful everything went well and his head already looks so much rounder! I have a newfound respect for surgeons. Amazing!

What a blessing for such a dear family! You don't know how many times I checked the blog, and others texted me, wondering how the procedure went. I told them I was assuming "no news was good news" and we all just kept praying for you. Thank you for letting us know, and I'm sorry too about the last-minute procedure change. It's hard to change expectations like that mid-stride. I can't believe he's coming home hopefully Thursday! That's a miracle! I wish I could take Everett's pain. What an ordeal:( I'm so glad the worst is over. Stay healthy, try to get some sleep, we love you, and we're all thinking of you.
