Again I thank you, this has been trying to say the least.

My wife and me took Harry to Mandeville this morning he had had a good night and did not vomit his boiled patotes with Brumels Spred and was on top of his game.

His insisions from the previous surgery had become infected and other tests for shunt markers was not conclusive. We elected to have the doctor try to
correct the infected stiching there was no indication he was infected on the
inside areas of his intestines, just the external skin area.

Frankly we were at the end of our ability to pay for more extensive procedures and would give him this aditional chance. As it turned out when they attempted to correct the outer skin level they found it fused with the next layer and the doctor went ahead and did the internal intestine procedure (+/-) 2500 dollars for no additional charge.

He reported that he found nothing wrong inside his little stomach and we are hoping the origional surgery was the problem, and has been corrected.

There was no further shunt discussion.

This has been a rough day and we hope to get Harry back in a day or so.

Thank all of you for your thoughts and imput.
