Dani Jo has done well the past several days. She has surgery for her Hirschsprung's Disease scheduled for Monday afternoon. This is the surgery she was going to have last week before she developed an infection. The IV in her hand started leaking last night, so they have an IV in her forehead right now--not the most attractive place for an IV.
The hope is that after her surgery and after a couple of days of recovery, that she could get moved into a room on the pediatric unit--a room with a bed, chairs, tv, etc. She would probably be in this room for about two weeks if she recovered well and hopefully hope after that.
She is getting chunky. She weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. yesterday morning. She is now eating real well. She's taking about 2.5-3 oz. each feeding. She seems to have a cranky, fussy period from about 5-8 each night. (She needs to get this out of her system before she comes home.)
Again, thank you all for your continued prayers for Dani Jo and our family. We hope to be able to write about how she is doing at home very soon.
In Christ,
The Hearls

Dani Jo,
I will be saying many extra prayers for you tomorrow. I know that this surgery is going to help you just like your last surgery did. You are going to be home in a few weeks so you can play with all of your Christmas presents I got you. I will see you tomorrow evening. I love you!
Love,
Aunt JennJenn
