Addy was super cranky this morning because of the food situation. Fortunately, some snuggles with Mommy helped a little bit. The shunt placement went well. It's on the right side of her head and they had to shave her lovely long hair on that side as part of the surgery (they saved her hair for us, which entertained me immensely). When we left this evening she was resting mostly comfortably thanks to some really good pain meds, and woke up every once in a while to remember that she was kind of hungry.
No one really wants to talk about when we're going home yet. My best guess is another day or two--depending on how she does with weaning off the pain meds and how her feedings go over the next 24 hours. Just click your heels together 3 times and say, "There's no place like home..."
