More good news

A few new pictures, including the adorable one above, can be viewed via Facebook.

As we've promised you all, no news is good news, and that continues to be true.

Abigail has had a good week, still trending up in her weight, although it has leveled off again the last few days in the neighborhood of 4 pounds, 3 ounces. She's been happy and alert much of the time, and the only problem of note has been keeping her ostomy bag from leaking. The nurses have been changing it about twice per day on average this week, which isn't good for the skin in the area.

But the good news is that her ostomy bag likely is going away soon. We've received word this morning that her "reconnection" surgery has been scheduled for Tuesday. This is, of course, subject to change. We should find out an "exact" time this afternoon.

Obviously, this will be a huge step for Abby. It likely will mean a tough few days as she recovers, but it will be first step towards her being able to come home.

In other news, we bought Abby's crib/changing table yesterday. Katrina started putting it together last night. (She loves assembling things, and I don't.) It's going to be interesting squeezing an office and a nursery into one small room, but I think it will work out.
