One day at a time - 3 weeks in SF and counting

We have been in San Francisco 22 days. I am beginning to feel like this is a second home.

Emma was in surgery this morning for 3 hours. The surgeon said that everything went well. The spinal opening is now closed. We hope we will be able to hold her in two to three days. The surgeon told us that her ventricles in her brain are enlarged and we have been told that we need to watch and wait to determine if she will need a shunt. Tentatively she is scheduled to have surgery sometime next week if she needs the shunt.


Amber (Lexi) is recovering from the C-section and should be able to leave UCSF hospital in a day or two. I suspect we will be in San Francisco for another 2 weeks.
