Tyler is out of surgery. They anesthesia team is finishing up extubating him and he will be back in his room soon. We just spoke with the surgeon and she says he did great! It was a long trying day and we're getting ready for one really hungry little boy to come back to his room. They ended up installing a programmable shunt into the hole created for his last surgery.
We will watch him for a few weeks and adjust the pressure of the shunt valve as necessary. They have an electro-magnet that they put on his head to adjust the pressure setting on the valve.
Update: He's in his room now, looking great! He is on some O2 just while he re-joins the world of the conscious. Otherwise he's all set.
