Pediatric surgery consult

Today we met with the Ped surgeon to talk about repairing Lily's hernias. She has two of them (bilateral inguinal hernias if you want to be technical). She has had them for as long as we know, they were noted on her medical report we reviewed about her when we first found out about her.

Surgery has been set for March 1st. They will be repaired laparoscopically meaning using a camera and two small incisions where something like extended thin "arms" will go in and put in a stitch on each side. It is outpatient and the doctor said that other than not being able to bathe for two days post op, there are not any special instructions. Lily should be up and about right away, which is awesome!

Lots if of waiting room photos because it was supposed to be a short appointment, but yikes we got there at 1:15 and didn't leave until 3:30. Lots of waiting! Fortunately, I had the whole
crew with me and they helped entertain and look after one another.

We would appreciate your prayers for Lily!
