Bre's Surgery

This is an email from Paula that I got last night...

As most of you already know, Breanna's surgery went very well yesterday. The surgery took about 2 1/2 hours and she was in recovery about and hour and a half. The doctor said that she was able to save the valve at the beginning of the colon and keep her button in the same spot as it was in before. Bre will not be able to eat for 5 days so we will not know how everything works for a while. Today she is still very tired, but has been out of bed to the bathroom several times without to much problem. They expect that Bre will be here at the hospital for eight days or so. She has to start eating and then have a BM before she can go home. If her colon works like it did before the operation, she will be here until she is old enough to drive. Hope that part is working better after the operation so that she can get home and back to school.

As we find out more we will let you all know.

Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. Prayer really does help.

Bill and Paula
