Day After Surgery Pics

I took these this morning. The swelling of the skin around the shunt tubing that runs from their heads to their tummies has gone down so that it is already much less noticeable. The incisions, which really aren't that large to begin with (though I imagine the boys would argue that point), are visible in person but more difficult to see in these pics. John-Raven's head incision is toward the back, but William is lying with his head turned so that his head incision isn't visible. The little pink line near their bellybuttons was the only other incision required.


John-Raven (5/15/09)


William (5/15/09)

They were spitting up so much overnight that they weren't allowed to eat and had to be put on IVs. We think they'll be able to start eating again today.

  2. They are so cute! What a blessing they are! Glad to hear everything is still going well. It sounds like they are doing well. How much longer will they be there?
