Change in Plans~Surgery on Monday!

Many of you know that we were supposed to leave for Disney World on Monday. Well, we have had some things happen in the past week that have changed our plans. We are disappointed about postponing our trip, but feel very at peace that this is what we are to do. Last Friday night, my mom was watching Carson and Kylie while Kaycee and I went out to celebrate our 8th anniversary. After we had finished eating, I got a call from my mom saying that Kylie's intestine had started to prolapse. We seriously could not believe it. We rushed over to her house to check things out, and sure enough, it had. So, on to Children's ER. Thankfully, the surgeon was able to push the approximate two inches of intestine back in right there in the ER. There was no guarantee that this wouldn't happen again. After consulting doctors and after much discussion, we decided that it would be too risky to travel down to FL for a week. We knew in our hearts that we just needed to get her reconnection surgery done. We are planning to reschedule our trip to FL in the spring due to my risk of pre-term labor. So, Kylie is going into surgery on Monday, September 21 at 1:00pm. They will be reconnecting her intestines, removing her appendix, and doing a scar revision on her old stoma scar. This surgery is the most risky surgery she will have had since there cannot be any leakage where the intestines are reconnected. If leakage occurs, Dr. Abdessalam will have no choice but to do another temporary ileostomy. We were told to expect her stay to be about one week. We would really really appreciate your prayers for Kylie. She still has no idea about what's ahead. I think we'll start preparing her this weekend. We'll keep all of you posted.
