Emma's new scar
Emma has had her surgery & praise God, everything went great. It took a little under an hour & there were no complications durring the procedure. Emma is still paralyzed right now from the medicine they gave her for the surgery. This should start wearing off in the next couple hours & then she will start moving again. She will be getting morphine as needed for the next 24 hours for pain. Right now she looks very peaceful. Much more than before the surgery, she does not like her ET tube (the intubation tube). Pray that Emma heals well & does not develope infection. Pray that as she wakes up she fights the ventilator so she can be extubated. Pray that her belly heals while she is not being fed so her feedings go better when they are restarted.
Side note: Adalyn is doing good, in case anyone was wondering :)
Praise God. So thankful that the surgery went well! We'll keep praying for a full recovery and all that entails! God is good once again! The Dreyer's

Psalm 100 sums it up :)
3 Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his ;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Love Grams/jody
