Yesterday we went to LA for a couple of different things. It was time for Mia to get 3 small stitches out and they also wanted to check and see how she was doing. In the morning we noticed she had a hernia near her stoma, so we also got that checked out by a doctor. She didn't like getting her stitches out, but the doctors told us that her incision and stitches looked great. Next week Friday, I get to take off the steri-strips that cover the actual incision, myself. That probably won't be fun either!
After the stitch removal, a different doctor looked at her intestines and he thought they looked ok, we should just watch them for a couple of days and make sure it doesn't turn into something serious, so please pray that her tummy will start to feel better...I think it is because of all the new meds...that they aren't sitting well in her tummy...the good news is we got rid of some of them and in a couple of weeks she'll be back to only her seizure medicine and 1/4 of a baby aspirin a day.
Then they did an echo on her, where they used the ultrasound machine to look at her heart...and they said that everything looks PERFECT! The surgery couldn't have gone better, Praise God!!! And her cardiologist doesn't want to see her for another 4 months! That's how good she is doing!
After that, a quick chest x-ray to make sure her lungs were ok, which they were, and a quick stop at the pharmacy...and we were back to Bakersfield. And if her tummy/intestines sort themselves out by themselves then I don't think we'll need to go back to LA until January...that's exciting!
