Oakley's Surgery

Oakley had her surgery today and is really doing great. Her stomach and intestines are all that were up. They were able to close the hole in her diaphram by using her own muscle and tissue. The surgeon told us that the chance of her ever reherniating are very small, since they did not have to use the patch. She had the surgery Laproscopic and only has three small incisions on one of her sides. As she grows I don't think you will be able to notice unless you know what she has gone through. Oakley is a special little girl and has amazed us everyday. The Doctors and nurses here have been wonderful and have given our little girl the utmost attention. We have loved everyone at Children's Health Care of Atlanta at Egleston. This place is full of miracles that happen everyday. We appreciate all the prayers that we have received and please continue to pray for Miss Oakley, because now the healing process will start she still has a long road ahead of her.

    thanks for your post on our blog. We are glad Nayeli helped you have hope with Oakley. I know how you felt. I was scared too. I prayed each day and told Nayeli to fight and beat CDH.
    Nayeli had the laproscopic surgery too. They thought her liver was up and then after the surgery they said it wasn't.
    We are praying for your little girl.
    I would like to add your blog to ours if thats ok.
