Wednesday night-We just got back from the hospital. Our patient is doing so well, she may be discharged home tomorrow! They got her up in her chair today and gave her the first feeding about 4 pm. Bladder and bowel working normal again. She has a lot of gas pains, as can be imagined. She has 5 incisions circling out around her stomach area. Did it laproscopic, but Dr said it still was a major surgery. He gave mom an 8x10 photo, with 4 different veiws of Avery's insides, and exactly what was done. Mom asked if there was anything he saw that we may need to be concerned about and he said no, liver,etc.all looked fine. All this is good to hear, thank the good Lord. Let you know when she's home.-T--------Wednesday morn Update-I thought you may want to 'see for yourself'. These photos were taken yesterday, first right after coming from recovery and second some time later, more awake.Avery's doing well,now.I came home and tried to update last night, but net was so s-l-o-w, I finally just gave up and went to bed. I must have died when I went to sleep, because I never heard my phone. Daughter had shot a text/photos after we left. Avery broke out in a full body rash, said it was a reaction to antibiotic they put her on. It has cleared up now but took several doses of benadryl. She couldn't use the bathroom and was so uncomfortable they had to put a catheter to relieve her. :( After that she rested fairly well. Grayson's mom is on her way here, to bring me Nora so will keep you updated, but things should go well with Avery today.Thank you for continued prayer of healing.-T--------Update Tues afternoon- Avery is in recovery- surgery went well- may send her to PICU first only because of her being special needs-Dr said keeping her in recovery until awake good- we laughed because she doesn't like to be woke up-😉 Will keep updating-Avery's surgery just started-it should be about 2 hours- will Update

May her recovery be smooth and may He comfort and hold her save

Toogie, I have kept Avery and all of you in my prayers. Glad the surgery is past, and it went well for her. Now, you need to get plenty of rest! May the Lord bless Avery with fast healing, and all of you with better days ahead!!
Hugs, Angel

Enjoy your time with Nora. Glad things are looking up. If she's like me with antibiotics, that's just one more to put on the list of never-again meds.

Praying for a speedy recovery for Avery.

Glad to hear she is doing well. I hope she has a speedy recovery. Prayers being said for her. Hugs, Mary

Great to hear she is doing so well. God is good.

That is really good news. Now, Toogie, if you can get some rest you MUST or you will end up sick, and no one wants that! This Bible verse has helped me through the hardest of times. It has helped me when I just couldn't understand, and gave me peace. I hope others will save it so it will help them too.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the PEACE of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

One of my favorites also

thank u for update will keep my prayers up for Avery

God bless Avery and her grandmother!!!

Thank you for the update. Oh, please do try and get some much needed rest. I know that it is easier said than done as I am quite busy playing "Nurse Nancy". I really to purchase the letter N design on Cute Embroidery from the Cute Kids font (I think that is the name) it has the sweetest little nurse sitting beside the letter N. I am so sorry that Avery had a reaction to the medication but it is a blessing that she was in the hospital when it happened instead of being at home. Poor little sweetie! I know that little Nora will help brighten your day and bring you a smile wrapped in a hug!

Thank you Toogie for the updates. So sorry to hear that about the rash and the antibiotics. Keeping Avery in my prayers.

Toogie, sorry, so late responding to your update on Avery. that is good news. Hope everything is still going great for that special little girl.

Prayers for all.

great news that all went well. "Don't the doctors know you never wake the princess."

Dear Toogie, prayers are continuing for her and you. Love Chris

Praying with you. Glad so far, so good. Were you brave?

As to being woke up...who does. Great job little girl. Thank you Lord for the wonderful Dr.s and nurses.

Avery is in my prayers for successful surgery and for God to guide the surgeon's hands and for the operating room staff. Also for the family.
