Today they did the surgery on Emma's PDA. Dr Bloss came from Texas Children's Hospital, he was SO nice, he made me feel extremely comfortable with the surgery. He said he has done a million of them and never lost one! I was nervous, but I knew she was in good hands. So I went down to check on her before her surgery. To my superize she looked GREAT, the best I had seen her look ever. I took this as a sign today was the day and everything would be OK. Another day she would amaze me.
This will keep the fluid out of her lungs & it is something almost all preemies have to have done. Aunt Laura rushed up here to sit with me while she had the surgery. Mom was super tied up at work & Jason was at work. Everything went well and after the procedure we went down to see her again.
I got to see her get her diaper changed and she didn't have the eye covers for the bulli-lite on so I could see her little eyes! (Even though they weren't open) She has the most precious little face! Big plump lips, a little piggy snout (just because its not finished growing) and little eyes that will someday blink at me and turn to puppy dog eyes when she wants a new Barbie. Were not sure if she has my sniffer (nose) or Jason's its a close draw. I got to see the X-Ray that shows where the PDA clip is and it showed her lungs which look great.
Sigh, another so far so good day.
One more step.
