Spencer's Surgery

We had our visit with the neurosurgeon, Dr. Whebe, today. She said that Spencer will have to have surgery, but they are still trying to get it scheduled. She was very good at explaining things to us and we left feeling pretty good, or as good as you can feel in a situation like this. Basically she said that they will remove the front part of his skull and reshape it to how they want it and then reattach it with absorbable plates and screws. Sounded pretty major to Dean and I, but she made it sound pretty routine! She said that after he heals he won't have any issues with it in the future and will be able to do whatever a normal kid can do. We all had blood taken today to type and cross match to see if Dean and I were a match for Spencer so we can give blood for him to use during the surgery. Spencer also had his first CT scan too. Thankfully he fell asleep right before the scan and stayed asleep while he was on the table, so it went fast. I took a picture of him with my cell phone! Here is the boy after everything...he was in a great mood all day! I took this one because you can see his bandage from his blood draw. He was a trooper!!

And even though she didn't go with us I wanted to post a picture of Aubrey. Here is one of her favorite things to do...stick her foot in her mouth!
