Surgery at 7:30 This Morning

4/12/2014

We made it to surgery day with no hiccups! It's scheduled for 7:30. Again, not a very risky procedure. I'll provide updates as I get them.

9:22am: Surgery started about 8. We don't know how long it could be. There are no updates yet.

10:33am: Surgery went good. With this particular kind of operation you don't know for sure if it worked until after a few days, but it sounds very promising. We're so thankful she's okay. :)

Thank you Lord Jesus! You are faithful and true. Wonderful news! You are all constantly on our minds and in our prayers. Also continuing to pray for baby Ethan and his family. Hug his mommy for me.

That all sounds great. We are praying that this surgery works. She is such a strong baby girl, I'm sure she will be well soon.

Medical History:

Born 2/7/14 eight weeks early with a large SCT tumor (Sacrococcygeal Teratoma) and lymphangiectasia causing severe chylothorax (aka pleural effusion).

She weighed about 4 lbs plus the 2.5 lb tumor.

Major five hour surgery to remove it on 2/13. Had to be resuscitated for about 90 mins when surgery was almost complete. It's a miracle she survived, and did not have significant brain damage.

The chylothorax caused a weak immune system and she passed away from a pneumonia infection on 5/21/14.
