Fun with Toobie

Last night was our Spina Bifida Support Group Party at Boondocks.  Here's a few highlights:
  • Learned the Mele Kalikimaka spina bifida style...no stepping or hip motions. Just hands.
  • Saw old friends and new families.  There's an instant connection others.  You can dive right into the questions.  Why is she crossed-eyed?  Do you like doctor ____?  What's your insurance covering?  What size catheters do you buy?  We always come home feeling boosted by these great people.
  • Volunteers.  This group is run by dedicated parent volunteers who give so much of their time and talents.  
  • Coloplast...the group that sponsored the event.  They make catheters.  When was the last time you went to a party sponsored by catheters?  They even handed out free samples and showed the latest inventions...prelubricated and self-contained.  Fascinating!  
  • Watch out for the wheelchairs...lots of kids doing wheelies as we maneuvered around the arcade area. 
  • Sharing with grandparents.  Matt's parents, Nana and Pa, came with us. Lots more fun with them.
  • Santa stopped by.
Josie loved the coloring books they handed out of Toobie the Catheter.  
She wants to take it to church today.

Her solo number.  

 Davey rode by himself on the swingset glider for the first time. So brave and happy!

Curve Ball

Maggie is out of surgery. Things did not go as planned. As the doctor put it, "she threw us for several curve balls." We could not do the ETV. Once in her brain, he discovered that it would be too risky to proceed because of her anatomy. From what we remember, her pituitary was too close to an artery. As they were pulling out, a blood vessel burst. They had to get that bleeding under control before sewing up that side of her head and cutting open the opposite side for a shunt. That's when the neurosurgeon called us to tell us the disappointing news that the ETV wouldn't work. He said he'd come back to visit us in 45 minutes once the shunt was placed. We always knew this was a possibility, but were told her anatomy was "perfect" for the ETV. Guess you can't judge a book by its cover, even with an MRI. Shunt surgeries are common, and it is rare to have serious complications. But two agonizing hours later, we were told what happened. Duri

She's Here!

The c-section went beautifully, Maggie was delivered at 10:17. She's 6 lbs 13 oz and has a smattering of Davey's hair, my chin, Millie's voice, Kate's ears, and Josie's temperament. Her lungs seem pretty immature so she's in the Newborn ICU for now. Millie is back in her pre-op room and has not yet been able to really see Maggie. Immediately after delivering her the doctors whisked Maggie into the NICU in the adjoining room. I've been able to see her in there and have shown Millie the pictures. The lesion on her back looks good--it looks like a patch of skin covering what used to be the hole that was there. Her feet don't have any noticeable clubbing and she definitely has more sensation there than Davey did. We are so grateful that she is here.     Posted with Blogsy

Shunt Happens

On Thursday night, I couldn't get rid of a nagging concern.  Maggie's eyes were sunsetting.  This is where the  eyes turn downward with the white showing above.  It wasn't constant, and she wasn't showing the typical signs associated with brain swelling.  But the Spirit just kept working at me, and I decided to call the neurosurgeon at Primary Childrens.  He wasn't too concerned and told me to come on Friday for spina bifida clinic.  Once there, the doctor thought it was nothing because Maggie's fontanelle (soft spot) was still soft and of course Maggie wasn't sunsetting for him.  But I didn't want to go to Houston next week until I knew for sure she was okay.  So he ordered a head ultrasound.  Sure enough, the ultrasound showed significant swelling in the ventricles of  her brain.  A shunt is needed. Poor Maggie. I hate to see her go through another surgery.  When I'm at the docs office and get bad news,  I try to act brave and wait until the car r
