Got some news today that hit us pretty hard. Adleigh is having surgery on Friday to remove a small portion of her large intestine. She has had difficulties eating this whole week and hasn't been able to pass any stool. A lower GI test today showed that there is a narrowing of a section of her large intestine which prevents anything from passing through.
On Friday, they will remove this section. The ideal scenario is that it would be a small area and they can immediately reattach it during the surgery. However, there is a chance that the ends may not be ready to be reattached and she will have to have a colostomy. She would then have surgery again when she was 12-15 lbs to reattach everything. Please pray that they will be able to do everything this Friday and that she will recover quickly. This is her third surgery and by far the biggest.
Thanks again for your prayers!
We're praying, Wade.
Your little girls are SO beautiful.
And they will be coming home, soon.
Lots of Love from the Lyon family.
