This past week Kaelyn has undergone two surgeries to place drains into her bile duct system. Right now they are internal/external drains, meaning that Kaelyn has a tube coming out from her tummy area draining into a bag. On Wednesday, Feb 16 she will go back in for another surgery to try and place an internal drain from her bile ducts directly into her intestine. The surgeons have given us promising news about this. They are hopeful that we may be able to save her liver and not have to go through another transplant! That is the most wonderful news! They think that the liver function has been hindered by the dialation of the bile ducts, and ever since the drains have been placed her numbers have been getting better and better. So, if we can get this internal drain to work properly to reduce the inflamation and blockages in her bile ducts she will not have to have another transplant! What a miracle sent from our Father in Heaven. He is watching over our daughter and sending blessings in all forms.
We will update after the surgery on Wednesday. Love to all!
