Belly Button!!

Monday, September 20, 2010
Who would have thought that a belly button could be that exciting?  Grace does!!
Grace had her final belly surgery today to close what is left of her omphalocele and give her a new belly-button.  It was a long day for her, and as usual she was an angel.  We were dreading a whole morning without food, but she didn't complain at all.  No fussing, no whining, just her best behavior.
The surgery lasted about 3 hours and she is now resting comfortably in the PICU.  Our hope is to be home by the weekend.  Thanks for all the calls, texts and facebook posts.  We always appreciate your support.
