Update on Jane

Hey friends!
Thank you so much for praying today...I appreciate all your support so much. We just talked to the surgeon. Jane is out of surgery & doing ok. They had to remove the entire bile duct and her gallbladder, as he said the entire area was extremely inflamed and diseased. He said everything went well, and she should make a full recovery. She is in recovery now, so we haven't gotten a chance to see her yet. We should be able to go back in the next hour. Please pray for her to be comfortable (as much as possible at least!) and pain free. Another possible complication that we ask you to pray for is for her stomach to not become distended. If this happened she would probably start vomiting & her stomach would swell. At that point they would have to put tubes down her nose to drain her stomach. He said that it is pretty painful & they hate doing it to babies. Can you please pray that this doesn't even become any issue? Also, poor baby will not be able to have food or drink for the next 3 or 4 days (only IV) and I know that is not going to make her happy. After she starts eating we will have to be here for another day or 2. So there is a very high possibility that we will have to be here longer than planned. Thank you so much for your prayers. Matt & I are doing well--just pretty drained & tired. Ready to see our baby girl! I will update after we get settled in our room and are able to watch Jane for awhile. Love to all of you!
