Anna Marie has been discharged from the hospital. We went and had a great dinner and then a 2 hr nap. She is now up laughing and playing. We are coming home tomorrow and going to see her pediatrican on Tuesday for check ups. Thank you for your Prayers and support. Love to all Joy and Anna Marie :)

Anna's surgery went well. The dr did say that her tubing keeps migrading to her back and there not sure why but hopefully this one won't. Please continur to Pray they gave her an antibotic that she is allergic to and now she is on oxygen. I will update tomorrow.

Anna last name under the insurance is still Smith. Because of Henry County court system. Sorry for the confusion..

Update

Just an update on Anna Marie. Last tuesday she woke up with a headache and said my shunt is broken, we went to the pediatrician and they gave her decadron to drain her fluids off of her head. On monday we drove up here and this morning went to see the neurosurgeon. At that time he decide to admit Anna Marie and we will have surgery around 2pm tomorrow. If you would like to make anna a card go to www.nationwidechildrens.org her room # A5614. Thank you for your conitinue support and prayers. Joy

Anna has been having headaches since last week. Dr Kosnik put her on decadron thru her pediatrician to lower the fluid in her head. However that didn't work and now we are going to see Dr Kosnik in the morning to schedule surgery for Wed. to replace her shunt. Anna keeps saying my shunt is broke so please PRay for guidance tomorrow and Wed. WE love you all. The Dingess clan

We are here in Ohio for check ups. Dr Kosnik (neurosurgeon) gave us great news, Anna's shunt is still working properly and the headaches she had last week where from the barometric pressure changes which then affects her. Then went to see
Dr Hardin (endocrinologist) and Anna grew I have to get the measurement in inches but in cm she is 117.2cm. So we up her growth hormone intake and go back in 3mths for another check up. Then last we went to Dr Katz (neuropthamology) Our quarterback!! and Anna has 20/25 vision and her optic nerves aren't swollen. This has been the best visit ever. After that we came back to the hotel then went and ate dinner then off to shopping where we were able to get size 7 clothes. We had so much fun shopping this was a great day..God is so good!!! Never forget to Praise him in the Storm and in the GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
