Emily had surgery today. Her sister, Abigail, got to see her for a few minutes before surgery. The NICU does not allow siblings under 3 in at all but the nurse broke the rules so she could see her sister before surgery. Surgery took a few hours and she came thru it very well. According to her surgeon, it was best case scenerio - he was able to remove the obstructed part of the small intestine and reconnect the two ends. Hopefully recovery would go well and we'd be home soon.
