De Ja Vu'...

So, I guess I jinxed things by posting the last post.  However, the good news is that you can just look at those pictures and it would be just like looking at MaKenzie right this minute!  In fact, her little gown is exactly the same.  We're in UK awaiting the final word from her neurosurgeon as to whether or not she will be having surgery.  At this point, we're about 95% sure she'll be having another shunt revision.  Last night, in the ER, a shunt tap (like a spinal tap, but they tap her shunt tubing in her scalp rather than her spinal fluid), they discovered that her shunt (that was repaired 2 months ago) has stopped working.

While we're mostly at peace about the surgery, more concerning to me is the chance of being exposed to other bugs while we're here.  While they are admittedly trying to do their best to keep visitors to a minimum across the board, and they are cleaning everything they seemingly can, I just have to wonder if it's enough.  So, I would ask that you all would pray for God's protection for her while we are here.  Ours too, so we don't take anything home to the other children.
