Lila had surgery last night and they were able to perform a primary closure (where they put all of the intestines back in the abdominal cavity) instead of a staged closure(where they take multiple surgeries to complete the closure). Lila is on a ventilator because she is sedated and because the intestines put increased pressure on her diaphram. A primary closure is good because now the risk of infection is reduced. Tom was at Children's all night. At 9:30am Emily was just about to be released from the hospital and will be able to go over to Children's hospital too.
Thank god that the progress made so far has been good.
