Sorry for the lull in updating...

I know I haven't updated in a while, but I have just been preoccupied with working and getting the kids back to school. I can catch you up though, not much is happening.
Ivee saw Dr. Martino (neurosurgeon) on Tuesday. She looks good and of course no leaking, so he just wants to get a CT scan as a reference point for her. This is so that if something happens in the future with the shunt and ventricles, we will have a scan to compare another scan too.
We go back to St. Jude on February 9th for her next MRI. We will speak with Dr. Merchant about whatever this "post Surgery" thingy was that he was concerned but not too concerned about.
On a "non medical note" Ivee is doing well. Still not eating by mouth, but is taste testing everything. She can take sips from a straw, but it is not a consistent thing. She can walk with assistance by one hand, but still can't stand on her own. She is just really scared.
Below are pics I took of her yesterday. She climbed up to the piano, opened a book I had and began to sing and play. She was so serious about about "knowing" what she was singing and playing. Guess she's been watching mommy at work. She began to sing one of her favorite songs over the last two months, "Sing Noel." She just played and sang. It was too cute.
