Lou had to have surgery AGAIN

So on June 4th at 12:20 pm Lou started complaining about his head hurting again :( He then said the had to *Puke* he went to the bathroom and it was a watery liquid and whitish, i saw the color and said "OH NO NOT AGAIN" I tried calling momma after i got Lou calmed down and The dispatch person said that she was already gone, great i have a screaming 4 year old and his momma aint at work she has no number where i could reach her what do i do?
So i waited i laid down with Lou got him calmed down then 10 mins later momma pulled in the drive way YAY. i get to go to sleep now, right? Wrong i tell momma how Lou is doin and she says well it sounds like the Shunt again (Ya think thats why i told you)
15 Mins went by and Lou was still compalining about his head hurting. So we went up to CMC Levine Hospital for Children. This was about 2:00 am we got there at 2:18am. We went in they took us back almost immediately and gave Lou a CT and it confirmed that his Shunt malfunctioned again (4 months later after the last one was put in)
They admitted Lou at about 5:30am and we seen MaClanahan at about 7:30am. He said that he will have to have surgery again and he can not let him be released until it is fixed. So we stayed there. At 11:30 we ate lunch and then gave Lou and Sam and me of course a nap :) I was tired. up 27 hours straight, i am NOT youst to that anymore.
And after 3 hours of a wonderful nap i woke up and saw my sister and her fiance sitting up there. while they was up there MaClanahan came in there and said that the surgery will either be tomorow morning or tomorrow evening. speaking of Saturday sometimes. Momma said well great My oldest Son is graduating that morning so of couse momma had to miss the graduation due to Lou having to have surgery again, Nick understood perfectly.
So Saturday Mourning Daddy and Lynn showed up at the hosptial and Lou just got tickled to death. at 6:30 they brought Lou to the operation room and put him to sleep using the sleepin gas, they started IV and off to work they went.
The surgery went well they got done at about 9:30am. They used the same size shunt but used a bigger tube and put in a Shunt Accesory so the shunt wouldnt have to pump so hard.
That afternoon; me, amber, clint, samantha, cody, jerry, and grandma, and nick, daddy and lynn went up to the hospital and surprised Lou and Nick with Nicks graduation cake. They were surprised but Lou was in some pain and wanted momma and Daddy the whole time, and he wanted to see Cody James also.
He is now home, he got to come home on the 6th of June and has been wired up ever since. He is now watching TV and playing some by his self. I dont know if thats the surgery or what made him start doing that. But he has some really good improvements.
He goes next wednesday on the 16th of June to see Amy Kelly for a CT to see if everything is still fine :)
