Here she is!
They were able to repair the gastroschisis in a single operation (primary closure). She is sleeping from the pain medicine and is doing very well indeed! I am in the room with her and will sleep here tonight. Thank God for family centered care and also for free high speed wireless internet in the hospital. Tomorrow the neurosurgeons will be by for a consult on the hydrocephalus. Father Val from Jess's parish just came by, too.

Alicia, glad you were able to post the pix to the blog. Looks better here than it did on the phone. Although I forwarded the pix to about 6 other phones.
Glad to hear that Fr Val made it by!
The Grand-auntie is passing the info on to the Grand-uncles on my side. "So I can call you GRANDPA now" Strange how that sounds right now.
I left additional messages for the boys that all went well.

Oh, Grandma Alicia, she's BEAUTIFUL! Sigh. Congratulations to J, and to you! I'm so glad the surgery went well too.
Enjoy!

Congratulations Grandma!
She is so beautiful! Is that red hair??!!
I am glad everything is going so good. Hope *your* baby is doing ok. It must be hard for her not to be with Emma.
May God grant all of you many years!

Congrats to you & yours Alicia! My brother & sister-in-law had a wee one that required an operation upon birth and it was nerve-racking.
