The surgery went O.K.
Savannah's surgery was more complicated than Charlton's.
They had to cut an inch of her intestine out and they also took out her appendix. Jen also mentioned that the intestines adhered themselves to the liver some how. So a 2 hour surgery took more than 3 hours.
Savannah is doing well and her vital signs are good, although she is on a ventilator.
The next 48 hours are critical to make sure she doesn't develop an infection and trying to get her off the ventilator.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I had a nice visit with Savannah this morning. Later in the day when I called to check in on her I was informed that she pulled off her Nasal Canula. The nurse decided to keep it off for a while to see how she does with her breathing. It is almost 10 pm and she still does not have it on. As you can imagine that is great news for us. The surgeon visited with her today to do some pre-op x-rays. Everything looks good and the surgery is still a go for Thursday.
CJ also had a very good day home with Chuck and Ashley. They took a walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air. I think Ashley enjoyed it the most since Chuck let her ride her jeep around the block.

Savannah had a very good day and is doing well with her feedings. She is currently still on 2 bottles a day, but with less desaturations. The hospital staff is gearing up for her surgery on Thursday and has everyone in place for her recovery period. Her surgery will be a little more difficult than CJ's due to her breathing issue. However, we are confident that the staff will take good care of our little girl.
CJ had a very good night and Chuck and I managed to get a little sleep. We ended up having to take him to the doctors today because we thought he was having a post operative problem, but thankfully it turned out that we just over reacted. The good thing is we know his pediatrician will react quickly if we have an emergency which is very comforting to know.
Everything else is status quo.
