Successful Surgery

Canaan's surgery went very well. He is currently recovering in the PICU at St. Louis Children's Hospital with his mother by his side. Me, J, and Grandma are at the hotel for the night. Dr. Park believes that the issue was resolved in a way that will help prevent a recurrence - at least in the short term. There is always the possibility that as C grows the scar tissue will adhere to the spinal column and stretch the nerves. This is what causes the loss in mobility and the leg spasms. The issue at hand now is ensuring that spinal fluid is not leaking from the incision. The goal is that in a few days he will be moved to a regular room and then after another three days of recovery we'll be home. Thank you all for your prayers. Continue to pray that Father will oversee C's recovery and development. C seems more responsive and looks better this time compared to last year's surgery. H figured out that he will sleep better if she leaves him alone a little more than attending to him every time he moves.
