Beaufiul Imperfections

Ashlyn's bandages were removed from where her incisions were. She has two incisions on her scalp and one on her belly. You can also see where the shunt lies under her skin. I do believe her scars are so beautiful because they represent her strength and amazing grace.

Belly Incision

(where the distal catheter was placed in the peritoneal cavity)

Scalp Incision #1

(where the proximal catheter was placed in the lateral ventricle)

Scalp Incision #2
(where the shunt valve is located...look carefully you can see the outline of the shunt)

The Waiting Game

Ashlyn is in surgery to get her ventro-peritoneal shunt right now......
