Waiting for a surgery date

It's been a hard week waiting to know when surgery would be. I'm glad the doctors are acting fast and Oliver's surgery is scheduled for Monday July 11th. The neurosurgeons don't feel that Oliver can wait for his neurosurgeon Dr Riva-Cambrin is back off holidays so we are having Dr Hader do the shunt surgery. We've heard Dr Hader is an amazing neurosurgeon.

I know and feel that this surgery is what Oliver needs right now so he can thrive in life to the best that he's capable of. I hate the thought that my 5-month-old baby needs another surgery but I know doing the surgery sooner the later is actually better than prolonged symptoms and possible damage. This surgery is necessary, and I'm thankful for the doctors who can help Oliver.

Oliver hasn't been him self this past week and symptoms as slowly getting worse this week. Oliver’s has just been off, his soft spot is bulging, he's more sensitive then normal, he takes longer to settle when going to sleep and doesn't sleep as long when he finally falls asleep. We have also notice in the last few days that Oliver is having trouble holding his head up. Lately he just lets his head flop/ hang to one side. Oliver is also been very sensitive to louder sounds. It's hard seeing my precious baby this way.
