This came from Stacy
this afternoon, and I wanted to share it with you. It doesn't have
much new information, but it gives you her perspective on things and
shows you how blessed they are feeling through all of this! Thank you
so much for praying for this family. If anything else comes up, then I
will definitely post an update here again. Here is what Stacy wrote:
Our God is so good!
We are praising
Him from the roof tops. Her esophogus looked perfect, as did her
stomach. The problem was that her fundoplication had pulled her
esophogus so tight that it was practically closed at it's base. So...the
surgeon put a series of balloons down there to open it up. We will be
kept her for another 24 hours to make sure the surgery was successful,
and if her esophogus doesn't close then we can go home tomorrow! She
will be on a special diet for the next week, slowly building her back up
to chewing in seven days (we hope!).
Please pray that
her esophogus doesn't close in during this week. Her doctor said that
this was really just buying us time until he had to do more invasive
surgery to undo her fundoplication - but couldn't tell us how much
time. We are just thrilled that for the time being, we have had
success.
She is sitting
here in front of me, playing with some new toys that her Uncle Brian
sent, and is talking a mile a minute. She is thrilled that her surgery
is done, and that we are pretty sure we'll be reuniting with her
brothers tomorrow (who she misses terribly).
Thanks so much for your prayers.
I'm off to play "babies" with her, and watch Aladdin.
Love,
Stacy
