No News is...

They say no news is good news, but in this case no news is just no news. Just a quick update and reminder here. Rory is still scheduled for surgery on July 21 (this Thursday) at 7:30 AM. She's decompressed pretty well over the weekend, and her spirits are high. So there really isnt much to expect out of the next three days except waiting for Thursday's surgery.

Surgery will include a long segment biopsy of the large intestine near the rectum. This is intended to investigate the ultrashort Hirschsprungs disease. They'll also go in through small incisions in her belly button to scope around with a camera, grap some material for biopsy elsewhere, and even remove here appendix. Can't say how long the procedure will take, as its very dependent on what they find once they're in there. My guess is if they only do what's described above, it'll be a couple of hours. If they do more than that...?
