We are asking all of our family and friends to get some extra prayers in for our little Vann. We spent the whole day at the hospital today waiting to speak with the Neurosurgeon. Vann's ventricles are continuing to increase. They believe that there is a little clog in one of his canals causing the buildup of fluid. It looks like they will do a procedure, which entails them going in with a tiny camera to the canal, sucking out the clog and then placing a stint to keep the canal open. The stint will have holes in it that will allow the fluid to flow in case something else gets clogged. The Neurosurgeon and NICU doctor will determine if and when this will take place. They may wait until Monday to see if it has resolved itself, but Monday is the latest. We know he is in the best hands and trust their opinion.
