Post-Op!

It's 10:45 and Rebekah's surgeon just came in to speak with us. The surgery went perfectly, and Dr. Hebra was very pleased. He was able to place the g-tube and do the Nissen procedure all laparoscopically, so she did not have to have the large incisions that could have happened. She just has six small (1/2 inch or less) incisions that will heal fairly quickly.

Rebekah is still on the ventilator and will be until she fully wakes up from the anesthesia. Based on her previous experience under anesthesia, we are expecting that it will take a while, but we are thankful she is doing so well.

We should be able to go in and see Rebekah in about a half hour. We will post some pictures and another update later on today. Thank you all for your comments on facebook and prayers. Rebekah is one very loved little girl!

If you think of it, please keep Zachary in your prayers today as well. He was heading to the doctor this morning for a possible ear infection and almost certainly a sinus infection. Pray that he is well before Rebekah comes home and that no one else comes down with his sniffles!
