On to Plan C...

After 6 weeks of waiting for Harper to heal and resolve this issue on her own, we made the decision this morning to move on to the next step.  On Saturday night, we were told that the doctors were planning on a possible surgery this week sometime.  On Sunday night, we were told that the surgeon would consult with us at 8am Monday and if we decided to move forward, then they would go ahead with the surgery as early as 930am.

I have been researching the possible procedures, surgeries and medications that could be used in the next step, so we were fully prepared for our meeting with the surgeon to make sure that we were all on the same page.  We came in this morning and talked with the surgeon - he explained everything fully and answered all of the questions we had, so we decided to take this step to get Harper healed up sooner so that she can get out of her plastic bed and home with us.  The duct that is leaking is going to be tied off and they are also going to permanently close the space that has been filling with fluid.  We are, as the doctors are, very confident that this will do the trick and we can move on.

About 10am we walked with Harper up to the surgery center, gave her a kiss on the cheek and left her in their hands.  So, we are now just waiting in the Ronald McDonald room for the next few hours.  I will post a couple updates through the day for those of you who are reading frequently.  

Thanks for all of your support, love and prayers!

Every little thing gonna be alright...
