She was in surgery for a little over 4 hours. It went smoothly and they were able to use her appendix. The Mitrofanoff stoma is not in her belly button because there was too much scar tissue there from her previous surgeries. It's really low, right above her diaper top.
Now the recovery. I'm told it's tough, but am hoping for the best!
We used to revel in the "new perfect" that was our life. Raising a beautiful girl with multiple special needs showed us that "perfect" is all in our minds. Emily's life was perfect. It was happy, it was brilliant. She was social, outgoing, silly, and ticklish. Now we are learning to get through life without our "Perfect Peanut" in it. This is most certainly NOT a new kind of perfect.
