Well the second surgery is complete...what a relief. But let me tell you, this little munchkin is a trooper. She was up and about as soon as she woke up from the narcotic cocktail they gave her during the surgery.
The surgery itself took about 2.5 hours. Of course we just have to wait in the reception room, anxiously anticipating the update. However, everything went well. They had to do a little more poking and prodding (not technical medical terminology) so she is a little more bruised and sore than last time. However, you could hardly tell by looking at her.
We are so happy to have her with us and we are indeed grateful for the wonderful doctors and nurses at Primary Children's hospital. Thinking about the other options we had before coming here to Utah, we can only be grateful to our Heavenly Father for blessing us with the opportunity to be here. We can only imagine what it would have been like, if we had to go through this in Korea, Italy or Germany.
Avery is a beautiful little girl and she is already beaming smiles and passing giggles on to the rest of us with her beautiful little spirit. Her sisters were elated to have her back and drew her many pictures and a welcome home sign when we got back to Neena's. THANK YOU NEENA for watching our other two little munchkins!
Once again we couldn't be happier to have this over with and we pray that Avery's kidneys will respond well to the surgery and continue to heal. It could to take up to 6-12 months for them to completely heal, but knowing her that ain't gonna stop her!
