This is actually Daniel posting, not Ellen.
The surgery went fine. Simon is ok. He has a 4 or so inch long incision on the back of his head, but surprisingly little of his hair had to get cut to do it. If Ellen had known how little was going to get cut, I doubt she'd have ok'd the mohawk. :-)
As a side-effect of having the pressure removed from inside his skull, his sense of balance and equilibrium are going to be off for a bit. This means that he's going to be naseous and puking for the next 36 hours. Poor kid.
He's sleeping now, as he has been for most of the day since he came out of surgery. The hospital doesn't have wi-fi, so posting has been hard. The nurses have also grumped at us about having Seth in the room. We're not sure what to do if we can't keep Seth with us as we had planned on having just Ellen and I here for most of the next several days. Now it looks like one of us has to stay in the hotel room with Seth while the other stays in the hospital room with Simon, with an occasional swap of position. I'm posting from the ever so convenient computer with internet access down the hall from Simon's room, but with Ellen and Seth over at the hospital, that means that he's alone if he wakes up.
Will post more later, I want to get back to his room.

Life is crazy with 3 kids but it's manageable with quilt making.

I'm so glad you posted, Dan. Ria is here too and we were wanting to call but weren't sure if it would be too late or not. Glad to hear he's Ok... Thanks for the update!
I am glad he is doing well. We love you guys!!
You know, you'd think a CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL would be more children-friendly. It also seems to me that you've gotten mixed signals - someone telling you a baby is fine to be with Ellen, another person telling you that it isn't allowed. I mean, I understand that the hospital isn't a day care center, but you ought to be able to keep a baby with you.
