We just got back from the hospital and Rachel will have her surgery tomorrow at 7:30am - She will be in good hands. The surgeon is coming from Children's Hospital to take care of her. It's still a little scary for us, but we have talked to the neonatal doc and also the anastheialogist (sorry about the spelling!) who will both be with her through the whole thing and they have done this before so they have answered any questions we have and will answer more if we have any.
They will make sure she is stable and everything prior to doing the surgery. She will have a scar on her back afterwards, but it will be her battle scar to show she made it through the NICU.......she is a fighter so that will also help her get through this as well as prayers.
I did get to hold her today for an hour and 30 minutes.....so that was awesome......she had the best stats during that time too.....although she didn't open her eyes until Daddy got there! Hmmmm could it be she is already a daddy's girl? She held on to Rob's finger and squeezed for at least 5 minutes...and was peeking out of one eye the whole time......it was so sweet!
Will write more tomorrow once we have info on how she is doing and how the surgery went, gotta get up early to get to the hospital by 6:30a!!!
Love,
Jenny and Rob
