Hallie went into surgery about 9 o'clock this morning, and is now in recovery doing well; it took about 3 hours. The doctors said they are pleased with the surgery and that there were no major complications and very minimal blood loss! They did have to remove about 7 inches between her small and large intestines, where it was dialated.
At this time they will not be placing her in ICU, she will be getting her very own private room. The doctors did place an epidural in her to help manage her pain better so she will not have to be on any heavy narcotics. They do not want her to have the narcotics going through her intestines!
The doctors are hopefull she will be ready to start on solid food by weeks end. I will post more updates as soon as I can.
Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers!
