I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!!! This baby can't catch a break! How do things like this keep happening to him? I'm so angry...

August 8-(Saturday-Day 5) Although we were hoping to prevent a hospital visit, after seeing Rayden's incision this morning I knew that was inevitable. I took this picture and sent it to Dr. Chiodo. She called me back immediately and confirmed that we needed to take him on in to the ER.
UNC ER took us straight back. Since he didn't have a fever they wanted to do an ultrasound to see how deep it was. Rayden was unbelievably good during the ultrasound. He actually slept the entire time so the tech was able to take her time and took over 75 pictures. This had me a little worried though. (Maybe it's just my PTSD of ultrasounds!) The ultrasound showed bacteria under the skin but not a pocket of puss. That's good news actually. This means that maybe we can kill it BEFORE it gets in his shunt system.

I'm trying to look on the bright side. At least Rayden is not in any pain. He is happy and playful. He doesn't even act like he's sick. Maybe we caught it early enough that we won't have to take his shunt back out.
