Dylan's surgery


To make a very long story short, we found out last Thursday that Dylan needed to have surgery to remove a part of her hymen that was blocking her urethra. Apparently, this is a common problem in premature babies and although it hasn't caused any problems yet, it could in the future. We had to take care of this before we could test her for the urinary reflux problem so, surgery it was. Things went fine and we all survived. They took care of Dylan's problem and checked her out... she does have the reflux, but not as severe as Scout's. The doctor wants to keep her on antibiotics and recheck her in 6-8 months to see if she has improved any.

That being said, here are a few pictures from the day

In pre-op... she got a monkey from the surgery center

Fell asleep while we were waiting... the surgery was 1 1/2 hours later than scheduled and she was tired and hungry

She has been hungry and sleepy since we got home but we're all okay. Thanks for reading!
