Surgery

Rylyn was scheduled for surgery Friday at 2:00 pm. Well 2 came and went and she was still not in surgery. We were finally escorted to the OR at 4:00pm and she came out around 6. The surgeon came to explain the surgery to us and tell us how it went but the news was not all good. Rylyn tolerated the surgery well but there was a lot more infection than we had previously thought so we will have to be in PCH a little longer than we hoped. There was at least 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of infectious ooze in the urachus and it was really attached to the bladder so they had to scrape it off the bladder. She is doing really well now though. She is irritable and cranky but that is expected and totally understandable. We are so very glad that she is such a strong fighter.

How long do you have to be at PCH? I hope things are going well for you. I know how irritating it can be going to the hospital expecting one time & then waiting for hours! Its not fun!
