Thought i would update as so many people read the original thread.

The little man had his surgery thrusday morning... the longest 4 1/2 hours of my life!!! (his surgeon said it was very very tight in there) after a day or so in intensive care he is back on the pediatric neuro ward and doing really really well.... he even managed fish fingers and jelly for dinner tonight. He dosn't seem to be bothered by bright lights/headachs etc...so i am hopefull he has come through unscathed.
Dr. are optimistic he can be up and about tomorrow and if he keeps going as well as he is he will be home monday/tuesday
