So in the meantime :)
She's had a really really great morning!
We had an absolutely awful night last night, but her surgeon is convinced that it's just muscle cramps from her gut waking back up. Emma produced other 'evidence' that supported that theory this morning as well, so I'm really hoping for a good nap this afternoon.
Her IV finally failed today, but she's been on J-tube feedings for 24 hours now, so they are sure she won't need an IV anymore anyway. We just have to make sure she tolerates everything (including pain medicines that have been going through the IV) through the tube for a bit before ... You Know What :)
And in preparation for the Plan Which Shall Not Be Named, we got a bunch of literature and information about her procedure and I thought I'd share this picture from it. This is the simplest explanation I've seen of the Nissen wrap. The only difference is, you'll note that for Emma the word "laparoscopic" is crossed out! The surgeon reiterated today how much scar tissue there was to deal with once he was in there, but he's very pleased with how well it went.
But I can already tell that she's on the road to feeling better than she's felt in a long time. She had a really content playtime with me this morning, smiling with me and even giggling a bit.
Charlie was able to come and visit his sister last night and drew her a picture on her white board. He told me that this is a picture of him and his "Suppy Puppy" playing with Emma and her new "Doggy Friend" at home. Eventually the picture grew to include a fort they would build in the living room also, but you get the idea :)
So I have high hopes for the day! Hopefully the next time I write to you it will be from ... well, you know :)
