Leaking baby!!!

Gracie had her big spine op on Wednesday and the actual op went very well but she was very sore afterwards. She has tethered cord syndrome so they have fixed that and are looking out for leaking fluid. She has been such an angel, even when she was nil-by-mouth she didn't have a grump and she didn't even cry much after the op! She has had to be flat for 4 days and we thought that would be such a struggle as not only does she always want to be sitting, she chokes if she lies down for too long because of her previous big operation- but she was so good for us.
We thought we would be able to pick her up normally today and allow her to be sitting up but it turns out her cerebral fluid has been leaking at her wound site... not good! The doctors are not too concerned at the moment (but a very worried mummy is, and 'just wait' doesn't sound too good to her) but they have said she needs to be laying down for longer and if she leaks more it is back down to surgery we go. If it continues to leak after they have added extra stitches then Gracie would need a shunt to be put in.
The nurses have been excellent though, although there are the odd few that don't seem like they should be in such a serious ward that is Neurosurgery, the majority have been very helpful and reassuring. We have also made some friends from our ward- with super cute babies!
We are just waiting for 'home' to be mentioned now and Gracie to stop leaking. Hospital seems to be one big waiting game...

I will add photos when home from the hospital with real internet connection!
