Noah's Surgery

Noah is going in for surgery first thing tomorrow morning, (I'm posting this really late, but Wednesday Morning) He is getting a baclafin pump placed. This will help with the tightness in his limbs. We are hoping that over time this will help him move easier, have less pain, prevent contractures (or not being able to move his limbs due to constant tightness) maybe help him to learn how to walk, help him gain weight, make diaper changes easier, and many other things. The issues we are worried about is that Noah is very weak and may have to learn how to do everything over again, also risk of infection (if this were to happen, the pump and shunt would have to be removed for the infection to clear and then everything replaced, which would be at least a month in the hospital. It's only about a 10-12% chance of that happening, but for me that is too high of a chance. Prayers and Support would be really great. This is a big surgery for our little guy. Jeff and I have prayed for months, done tons of research, and weighed our options and feel like this is what's best for Noah's future. I think the surgery is about 2-4 hours depending on if the shunt creates more work for the neurosurgeon. I will update later to let you know how things are going.

I hope this email makes sense it's late and I feel nervous and groggy. Thanks for the support.
