Sophie's Surgery

So far so good…Sophie had her surgery on Tuesday, September 4th. It was scheduled for noon, but they took her back early, probably because she was making too much noise screaming in the holding room! Dr. Jensen was able to find the fistula and it was very small and very low (both good things). Sophie did not get to eat until the next day so it was a very long night, but once she started eating again she was VERY happy. We were discharged home on Thursday (a day before I thought we would get to go). We had a great experience at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, I was very pleased with all of our nurses, and I’m picky! She is doing very well so far, we had a check-up with her surgeon this past Tuesday and he said she is healing well so far. Keep those prayers coming, they are working! We have another appointment next week and he is going to examine her a little more closely to make sure she is healing inside and out. Poor Sophie! Here is my BIG girl in her hospital attire, with her matching IVs. All 12.5 lbs of her.
