A Milestone and a little fear to shake things up.

Today is huge. Katana has went a whole WEEK without a headache. She has had her new valve a week today and no headaches at all. So it seems to be working (knock on wood), I would give the world to go back to one or two headaches a month. This is the first week in over a year that she hasn't had a headache at all. I was so excited when she woke up this morning once again feeling great.

Then she sat down on my lap a few hours later and told me she was tired. With in a few min she was vomiting everywhere. Can we say heart stopping? She had been doing so awesome that I felt like part my heart had been ripped out. Then I remembered the flu has been making visits to our house. I have had it, Chris had it, C.J. had it, so maybe just maybe it is just the flu. After calling the neurosurgeon he agrees that it is probably just the flu. So now I sit on pins and needles the next 24 hours praying that she doesn't show any other signs of a shunt malfunction. The praying starts, Please God please just let this be the flu...wait what parent in their right mind would pray their child has the flu...well that is just one of the many crazy things about being a hydromom. The flu goes away on it's own, no need to rush her to the hospital, no need to cut her open, no need for more hospital stays, it just goes away. So now we are praying she has the flu and hope that tomorrow we wake up back on the road to recovery.
