Thru Surgery and Doing Well
Kylie made it through surgery beautifully. She was back in the operating room for about three hours. Dr. Abdessalam came out to give us the full report at about 3:30. Her colon was about 1 meter in length (3 feet). The circumference of the colon was that of an adult--clearly very enlarged for a child her age! He took some pictures for us to see and it truly was unbelievable that all that could be in her little tummy. They sent her colon to pathology for further study. They also put in a central line while she was back in the OR so that she would not have to poked at any more if her IV went bad. The central line is also there in case they need to give her any TPN (total protein nutrition) should she not be eating well. We are all amazed at how flat her little tummy is now. It is unbelievable. Kaycee is staying the night with her tonight.

We are praying for Kylie! Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you guys.
Such a relief that Kylie made it through this huge surgery. Thank you Jesus. Now we pray for the recovery. Not an easy road ahead I'm sure. May God give Momma and Daddy strength too. We love your sweet family.
Each of you are on my heart and in my prayers. I'm encouraged as I watch God's amazing grace and power sustain you each hour by each day. I pray Kylie will recover quickly and that each day continues to bring hope. Our hope is in the Lord!Laura Moore
