Hernia surgery

We are home. Everything went smoothly. Thank you for your prayers!

The only hitch was that Lily's surgery was delayed almost 2 hours. The surgery before hers got misbooked (is that a word?) and thus the delay. We arrived at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at 7:15 am and she did not go into the OR until nearly 10:30am. My worry was that she was going to start getting hungry and thirsty (having not eaten or drunk anything since 8pm last night). But thank the Lord - it really was an answer to prayer, she waited patiently and did not once ask for food or water :-).

The surgery was successful and dr. Bruzoni (whom we love) also found that Lily had an umbilical hernia too that he repaired on the way out. I have some more photos I can share later.

Pray for a restful night. Lily is crabby ad achey from anesthesia and surgery.

Love,
Chenning
