Around 1:30pm they took her down to the O.R. I must say it was a LOT easier to watch them wheel her away this time. No tears, not near as many fears and more of a smile on my face. This surgery to me is a surgery to help get her home sooner. Once we get the reflux fixed then she will be happier and we can work on the feeding which is the last thing we are working on to get out of the hospital. The morphine weaning is almost complete and hopefully after the next 48-72 we can start the lower doses again. After they wheeled her back we went to the cafeteria to eat. We ran into another couple from our ward (Conely's) who are adopting a baby boy. It was nice to chat with them on the excitement of their new addition. We then headed to patient financial services on applying for secondary insurance through SSI. It may or may not work but worth a try. By 3pm we headed to the surgery waiting area. After only 30 mins in there she was done and Dr. Reynold's came out to tell us that the surgery went really well. She didn't have any blood clotting issues since she has been on blood thinners. They didn't need to use any blood, platelets, etc. In fact the surgery was right on schedule that she didn't need any extra IV fluid either. So hopefully she won't be very puffy. We went up to her room to see her. The Dr. did a cute little snowman picture on her dressing. We are super happy that everything went so well and are anxious to see how she is doing tomorrow. Thank you SO much to everyone for your added prayers.

You don't really know me, but that is okay. I married Justin Wadsworth who went to school with your husband in West Jefferson.
It is fun to look at your blog and find out how your adorable family is doing. I have looked at it from time to time and you are a fun family. Your new addition is beautiful and she seems to be a really tough little girl as you also mentioned. She'll be home in no time. How fun that will be. Congratulations and good luck to you!
Dang she just manages to get cuter with each passing day!
Hey..I'm sure you already have a ped. cardiologist at this point (haha), but if not, we absolutely LOVED ours for Jaden. She is literally the best doctor I have EVER known. And her staff is delightful. They are all believers, too, so that is very nice. Her name is Eloisa Walker, Pediatric Cardiology of Idaho. She's in St. Lukes' building. She's been on the local channels doing question and answer shows, etc. I was thrilled when she said Jaden had no further problems, but also a little sad cuz it meant we wouldn't see her anymore!
