Syed Brian was discharged from the hospital this morning and is now taking a nap at home. He did extremely well with the surgery and he acts as if nothing happened. He even tried to taunt the neurosurgeons this morning by laughing and blowing raspberries at them, apparently in an effort to say "ha, that's all you got?!? a measly little shunt?"
He did lose a little bit of hair in the process, and soon he will be sporting the combover of all combovers. We'll follow up with neurosurgery in a couple of weeks but for now, it's back to life as usual.
I've had a lot of questions about what his incision looks like, how big it is, where it's at, etc., so I will try to post some pictures on the flickr website in the next day or so. You can find the link on the right side of the blog if you're interested. Disclaimer: there are stitches, and it is a little swollen, so if you have a really, really, really weak stomach, you've been warned. All in all, it looks really good and he has managed to one-up his father who didn't receive his first stitches in his head until he was 9 months old. I think Syed Brian is a bit of a show-off, getting stitches so early in life...perhaps his grounding should go back to 3 weeks.

Superbaby has done it again. The combover will definitely make a statement. I think there are blackmail pictures in the making.
