To shunt or not to shunt

Sorry...that's a terrible title. But it works I guess. That's the next big step for us. All the docs and nurses in the NICU are expecting the shunt. They've scheduled her last feeding at 6:30am, and they plan to go ahead & start an IV to get fluids in her a couple hours after that. All this and Dr. Handler hasn't even made the call yet. But surgery is a significant procedure, and if it is to happen at 3pm (as currently scheduled) then they need to have her ready. So I guess it seems more likely than not. But Handler should be weighing in tomorrow AM, and guess we'll know for sure then.

So we wait...
