Dr. Jay performed the surgery last night and we will catch up with him today. After the surgery he gave us a debreif. Parker's head was so large that his skin is now paper thin. That could cause issues with the sutures healing properly because fluid could leak from the incision area. Other than that, everything went flawlessly.
Now we hope to get a more accurate read on the diagnosis. We will speak to the neurologist today and continue to talk to the neonatologist. At this time, the neurology team isn't too optimistic about the future brain developent, but we're happy that he is doing well, breathing on his own and not showing signs of any other issues.
He is adorable and we can't wait to take him to the house and introduce him to a new, awesome world!
We really appreciate the updates and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again today :)

David & Leah... parenthood at the best of times is an awfully huge adventure of change... and a journey toward selflessness like nothing else this world has to offer. Y'all are on the condensed crash course. God bless you both as you take each day at a time, and learn at a whole new level what it feels like, looks like, and means to truly trust God... because this is truly out of your control. You have such a great family to support you, you are blessed. We will be praying for Parker's safety, growth, and healing... and will follow you and pray for you, even tho we are so far away. much love, Colin and Colleen
