Charity is final home with her parents!!! About 6:30 last night, Charity was released from the hospital. She got home and took a long nap. Jamie and I are both totally exhausted! We are hoping to be able to have visitors sometime next week.
So here is what is going on...
Charity has an appointment with her doctor on Monday to get another check-up.
In August, we are going to see the surgeon about her surgery.
A week or so after our appointment, Charity will have the surgery. It sounds like it will be one surgery one day and then a week or so for recovery. Hirschsprung's Disease will basically mean that the lower part of her intestines will be removed. We are hoping that it is a small segment, not a great amount of the colon. After the surgery, she should be completely healthy and not have any more bowel problems.
In the meantime, Charity is going to have her poo hole cleaned by her mommy and daddy. It isn't really on my bucket list, but it makes her feel much better and allows her to be home over the next month, so we will "doo" what we gotta "doo." (Pun intended.)
After I stop rambling on this post, I am relinquishing my posting rights back to Jamie. She is much better about posting pictures, so expect some very soon.
Again, thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. They have meant a great deal to us. Please keep Charity in your prayers as she prepares for her surgery and recovery in a month.
After about a month, our little girl will be all ours!
Yay! COngrats Jamie and Charlie! So glad to hear that you get to enjoy sweet Charity at home :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that Charity is finally home. It sounds like it's been a rough first week, but it's also great that the doctors will be able to get her all healthy within the next month. Then you can relax a little and just enjoy your time with her. Thanks for all the updates!
