surgery update

Yay! Surgery is over.  We just wanted to update everyone on how everything went.   Thank you for all your prayers!

 

Halle did so well.  The surgery went off without a hitch and they were able to repair her right kidney.  They basically just had to remove  “the kinked hose” and straighten out her uretur (the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder).  Once they did that, they were able to drain and reshape where her kidney had been swollen.  All in all, this should be the last surgery she needs! 

 

She responded so well that all the tubes were taken out early Tuesday morning and we were discharged that afternoon.  We have been resting at home, but she is back to her usual self, bouncing in her bed, laughing and smiling. 

 

Austin & I are doing well also!  We were able to walk in peace.  I didn’t even cry!  We are so thankful to God for this process.

 

What Next?

• 2 week follow-up appointment with the uralogist
• 4-6 weeks out Halle will have a stint taken out in an outpatient procedure
• Follow-up with the same tests she had before the surgery to see how everything is healing
• Monitoring with ultrasounds for a few months

 

Thanks again for walking with us.
