Our girls said that rent the runway didn’t have anything on this purple outfit courtesy of our friends from Spectrum.
Surgery went well. It was about 3 1/2 hours. There was a bit of scar tissue to navigate from the splenectomy that she had in high school. Because of the age of the scar tissue, it made the navigation a bit easier. In layman’s terms, they did a half wrap of the area where the esophagus meets the stomach (reduce/prevent reflux), and they cut some of the tissue where the stomach meets the intestine (helping her stomach to empty properly). She has quite a bit of pain, but that is not unexpected.
She is back in 7 heart at Meijer Heart Center to stay the night and recover. Assuming the upper GI XRay looks good tomorrow, we hope to have her home tomorrow afternoon. We will enjoy a liquid diet for the next couple of weeks while she heals.
Thank you for all of your good vibes, prayers and love. Peace be with you all.
PS. David Morgenstern Morgy, they have her back in a traditional Spectrum ball gown for recovery 😉
3/23 UPDATE
LeeAnne was discharged this afternoon. We got her home just before 5. Lots of pain, but home 🙂. XRay looked good. Liquid diet for next 5 days. Soft foods for a few weeks after. Happy that it was a short stay. Thank you for all of the thoughts and prayers.
