Kaelyn went in at 4:30 pm to have Dr. Healey close her belly. She was very restless leading up to this. We, of course, were told that she would go in around 12. So we were holding off on starting her sedation until afer surgery. She was so uncomfortable and not wanting to be in that bed that we finally gave her some benedryl (I don't know why we didn't think of that before) and it settled her down. Moments later they finally came to take her in to surgery.
She is still in right now, hopefully we will have an update soon. Dr. Healey was fairly confident that he could close her, but if he can't he will move the abdominal muscles closer together and sew her as far as he can. They don't want to squish, for lack of a better word, her organs and lungs. He said that there hasn't been a case yet where he couldn't close a kid. And I thought, well this is Kaelyn we are talking about! Ususally the exception to every rule! But I am confident in him also, if we can't close her today atleast it will be a step in the right direction.
