Midnight Phone Call

Last night we were woken up by the surgeons telling us Maddie's incision by her belly button was not closed properly. They have to go back in this morning at eight to close it up. She has fatty tissue coming out of the cut. The surgery shouldn't take very long, and we will get phone calls when it is finished.

Jeremy decided to leave work, and head to the hospital to stay with Maddie. She did not go into surgery until 3:30. In the interim she was given double the pain medication to help keep her comfortable.

Jeremy said it looked like her stomach muscle was popping out, but the doctor said it was fatty tissue. The suture had come out during the night from incision where the camera had gone in.

She came out of the surgery like a champ, and has been sleeping ever since.
