Mara had her reconnection surgery today. She was a great trooper through it all. They were able to reconnect both ureters to her bladder just using a slit in the bladder which is what we had prayed for. Once they got in there they did find that she was starting to have another infection...so they put her on extra antibiotics. She has an incision basically from hip bone to hip bone above her pelvis. She was very insistent in the hospital that she did not want to take pain killers or eat. They were giving her Morphine thru her IV b/c we all knew that she was in pain but refused to take the oral meds. They let us come home a day early b/c she was not eating or wanting to take oral meds. Once we got home she ate and told me she was a big girl and did not want me to break her pills anymore she could swallow them....and wala she is now swallowing pills. We go back on the 10th of Nov for them to take out the stitches and schedule for next VCUG. We will have the VCUG to make sure that the reflux is gone...if it's gone to more Antibiotics daily and we are good for now. If it is not they will talk about her having to have the more extensive surgery and we will be staying on antibiotics. Okay on a lighter note...kids and twilight drugs that is hilarious...the things that they say and do will keep you laughing. She enjoyed riding around in the wagon thru the hospital...also they gave the kids at the hospital Halloween costumes. She was so ready to come home...can you blame her.
