Long, Long Road

So as you all know, Melani came home from the NICU on 7.16.09...exactly 8 months after she was born. Woohoo! =) But we had a small set back on 7.24.09...she was really gasy and was just so uncomfortable and had a low fever so we took her to the children's er. Welllll, turned out she had a blockage somewhere in her intestines and everything that should have been coming out of her body "naturally" was being backed up and going out of her g-tube. Not a pretty thing. But she ended up having surgery again on July 27, 2009 and it went great. Her intestines slid into her colon and that was the obstruction...luckily there was no dead intestine and it was a quick and easy surgery. We were so scared about her getting reintubated because we thought her lungs were just so bad that it was going to take a while to get her off of the ventilator but she was off as soon as surgery was over and was back to her normal self the next day. She was in a little pain but not like the previous surgeries she's had. She came home 8.1.09...her daddys birthday!!! Best present out there! =) She is a little fighter and the strongest person i know. She was been through more in her 8 1/2 months of life than most people go through in their entire lives. I'm so thankful my family is finally under one roof and I hope it stays like this for a very LONG LONG while!!!
