He had his moments...


 I mean, I'm not applying for sainthood for him. 
There are some... irriatations,
shall we say?...

This picture was taken after the 5th shunt surgery, where they used a shunt that actually finally worked.  It worked too well, because in this picture you can see how sunk-in the fontanel is, and the ridge of his skull running down the side of his head is showing. Babies have a "soft spot" in the middle of their heads, on top, and his had been too full of water before this shut, which made the soft spot hard, and not good for him. The fluid drained so well, that the skin of his head was actually touching his brain, which made the two sides of the fontanel made him look like he had horns.

But? 

He stopped throwing up!

Maybe I should apply after all.
