Surgery is over

Surgery took 4 hours!!The surgeon just came out and gave us the 411.  The surgery ended up being way more in depth than the first surgery because of all the scar tissue she had from before.  He had to work thru alot of it causing delays.  She did have a narrowing that he could not tell whether it was scar tissue from within the area he suspected before or from the outside. He took that piece and cut it out then put it back together.  She had some adhesions to her small bowel he had to repair because the outer layer was damaged.  Mallorie lost some blood and required a blood transfusion.  He said about a third of coke can and for her that is quite a bit.  She is still being monitored and prepared to come into recovery.  They are planning on taking the breathing tube out but if not she is going straight up to PICU.  We are waiting for the verdict on that.  Either way she will be in the PICU tonite.  She will be on an antibiotic for quite a few days as well plus pain meds.  He figures it could be 5-7 days before we can start feeding her again.  Both Steve and I are really in shock I think because this is not what we expected.  It was suppose to be an easy fix and now look at it.  Looks like Spectrum is going to our home for a little bit.  Hopefully she will bounce back quick like the last time - but only God knows what the next few days will bring.  Will update a little later when I have a chance.
