Back to the Operating Room?

For the last couple of weeks Miah has been struggling with an infection in her incision line. The surgeon says he is pretty sure it is the knot where he tied off the stitch during the lip revision four weeks ago. We have tried a course of antibiotics, but it still seems to flare up and then ooze. Some days it looks pretty good as we are hopeful that things are on the mend, but then it seems to just flare up again over night. We have gone back twice now to the surgeon and he thinks that the undissolved knot needs to be removed.

So, tomorrow, with no booked OR time we are supposed to show up at the hospital and wait to see the surgeon. He will then assess the situation and make a decision regarding surgery. He predicts that she could get into the OR sometime late afternoon or around dinner time. Not fun to wait with a toddler who is fasting....and did I mention that I can't find the power charger for the DVD player? Hopefully they will at least give her a bed to wait in and not just have her hanging out in the waiting room. That could be painful!

I would appreciate your prayers as Drew is out of town on a business trip and the big girls are going to be with a babysitter for the day. Hopefully all will go well and we will not have to spend the night. (the photo is her goofy look from our photo shoot last month)
