Becca has been on and off the phone with me all day. Mikey isn't doing good again. His brain is begining to swell again. He is not eating what he does he he vomits up. She did not write that in her email, but i will attach that to this post. He needs a lot of prayers again. I will also attach the candle ceremony to my post so all can lite a candle if you would like. These poor kids keep going through heck with Mikey. I wish that he would just get better and be able to come home. It doesn't look that way right now. I am to upset right now to really write much. I will try and post again later when I know more.

over night mikey has become sick again. he has vomited and refused to eat. they did another ct scan today and found that the cystic hygroma has come down in size, but his ventricles are slightly larger. they gave us four options, and we are waiting for the one they choose. first, they could wait and watch. see what happens. second they could do another ETV (where they make the cut between ventricles 3 and 4), third, they could put in an external drain to reduce the fluid to buy them time, and the fourth, would be that they would place in the shunt. it isnt an emergency, but his head has started to grow in size. it was 41 last night and its 41.5 now. so we are more then likely expecting mikey to go in for brain surgery again. he has been very sleepy too, which is another sign of pressure on the head. once we hear the results and what they will be doing, i will update. thank you
