Surgery Update

Emma's surgery this morning went very well. She was scheduled for surgery at 8am. They actually got started around 8:30am and we were discharged a little after 10am. Once the doctor got in there, he found that it was actually a brachial cleft fistula that ran up into the tonsil area. He said that the surgery was pretty well textbook. When we got back to the recovery room, she was taking down the pedialyte like there was no tomorrow. Emma was a real trooper the entire morning. While she was both tired and hungry, she hardly fussed at all. Emma is resting comfortably now at home and will hopefully be back to her old fun and games by tomorrow. We are very thankful for all the prayers said on her behalf this morning.
