Back in the Hospital

It has been so long since I've updated. For days now, I've been intending to tell all of you how great Kylie's been doing. Well, that all changed last night. Around 7 pm or so, Kylie's intestine prolapsed. I rushed her into Children's ER while Kaycee stayed at home with Carson. By the time we arrived, her intestine had probably come out about 6 inches. Both operating rooms were busy when we arrived, so we did have to wait a couple of hours. Around, 10:30 or 11pm, Kylie was back in surgery. My mom sat with me during Kylie's two-hour surgery. This surgery was the most involved of any of her surgeries so far. The surgeon actually closed up her old stoma on her left side and moved it to her right side. A new location would help ensure that this would not happen again. Her past surgeries have been done lariscopically. However, he needed to completely open her up last night, so she has about a 3-inch mid-line incision--ouch! The surgeon did have to remove the 6 inch segment of small intestine that prolapsed due to the blood supply that was cut off. He is very confident that in no way should this affect the function of her small intestine. Thank you Lord!

She had a really good night as she is on a morphine drip for pain control. As of right now, she is still doing fairly well. I can tell she is a little more uncomfortable. She can hardly move due to the incision. Poor thing! She doesn't even want me to hold her.

Again, we would so appreciate your prayers for Kylie's comfort and for a speedy recovery. It is hard to fathom that we are back here after months of doing so well. But regardless of our circumstances, we know that the Lord is in control and that Kylie is in His hands. Again, our trust is in Him.
