Surgery update
Mallie is finally in recovery....she will need to be in the ICU tonite because the laproscopic procedure turned into an open one. Because she is so small they wanted to make sure to get it all correctly positioned. She has a larger incision because of it. Also she had another anomaly called Meckle's Diverticulum - which is an extra piece or pouch connected to the small intestine. They removed it along with her apendix. so we are still waiting to go see our little baby:( I anticipate her to be out of it today and tomorrow will be the bad day. She will be here longer than we anticipated as well due to the type of surgery. She won't be able to eat for a few days and her recovery will be a bit longer than we thougtht as well. We are still holding on here and I will try to update more later - lots of love Steph

Hi all - Mallie's gramma here - our little trouper came through the surgery with flying colors - even though she had further surgery that we hadn't anticipated when all was said and done she was sleeping very peacefully and was just as pretty pink as usual. I know she will be cranky for a day or two (who wouldn't after having surgery) but then little Mallie Pie will be smiling and clapping her hands and waving at everyone who waves at her. She is really a little card. And then there is her mother, my daughter who I am so proud of - she has been through all of this and is still working her way through life like it is a breeze, even though I know at times it isn't. So as Mallie's grandmother and Stephanie's mother I want to thank everyone who has stood by us to lend their support, prayers and concern. We couldn't ask for better friends, family and just general people in this little community in Mason County. God Bless all of you. Tana
