Calleigh`s surgery is underway. It started around 9am. The bronchoscopy was complete by around 9:45 and she was given the all clear to start the lip repair. The bronchoscopy was done to make sure she didn`t have any breathing issues like after her colostomy reversal when she stopped breathing twice.
The plastic surgeon said her part will take about 3 or 4 hours. The called from the OR and said she is doing great so far. When the plastic surgeon saw her scar on her belly from the colostomy repair she called from the OR to ask permission to inject the scar to reduce the redness and flatten it out. Her scar is a keloid (sp?) and this will make it flat instead of raised. We agreed and are thrilled they can do something for it. We didn`t even know they could do anything.
That`s all we know now. I`ll update when = can. We should be home tomorrow.
