A lot has happened in the last 3 years. After surgery in March of 2007, Ivan made huge strides and completed 3 years of preschool. He continued speech and occupational therapy through the school and the hospital and also started daily growth hormone shots. This past April, he had his 6 year scans, they showed the metopic suture has closed again and now his sagittal suture has also closed. His second surgery is scheduled for September 7. Say a prayer for our mighty mouse.

Looking better already.  Ivan's vitals and labs are improving so he didn't need another unit of plasma.  He was moved from the PICU into a regular room this afternoon.  He watched Nemo and ate a few bites of mashed potatoes, mac and cheese and ice cream.  Dr. Singhal said there was more pressure than what all the tests and scans had been showing.  His brain was happy to be free!  Amazingly, he is only taking an ibuprofen drug for pain.  His arterial line came out today.  Ivan can't wait to be rid of the itchy tourban, the other IV's and the drain.  Enjoy the pictures!  Our rock star has turned into Rocky!
