August 3, 2010 Part II

Ms Tenley is safe and sound at home after a VERY long day. Luckily, she did not have to go back under anesthesia and was released without having to stay the night. My understanding of what happened is that just the skin itself closed up, not the stuff internally, so they didn't have to completely re-do the surgery. They just had to re-open the hole by slowly putting a small object in there for 30 minutes at a time and gradually increasing the object size until the hole was fully back open. This process was painful for Tenley...the Tylenol provided hopefully helped a little. She would scream when they put the bigger size in but would then calm down in between the 30 minute intervals. She ate her noon feed at the hospital then was released and passed out in the mini van as mom pumped and drove home. All is well.
