Surgery Updates

2:15 - Surgery went well and we're back in the NICU with our sweet girl!  Everything went just as planned and they ended up removing about three inches of her colon.  It took a little longer than expected because they also found a urachal cyst that they removed.  She has about an inch-long incision on her tummy and internal stitches as well.  She is very sleepy but the anesthesiologist assures us that she initially woke up very alert and feisty!  We will spend the next 72 hours resting and keeping her still and calm and, hopefully, we can start introducing a little colostrum on Monday so that we can start filling her tummy and helping her feel better.

12:34 - They have finished and are starting to close, the surgeon should be up to talk to us soon!

11:08 - Great news!  They've found healthy tissue/ganglion cells and are starting the pull-through.

10:30 - We just got our first update, they had to do some additional prep work in the OR and place another IV (she now has two plus her PICC line) and are starting now.

9:10 - She is in the OR.  They expect the surgery to be done around 1pm.  We hope to have another update soon in regard to the first set of biopsies.

8:35am - All loaded up and heading to the OR.
