I don't want to over step my boundaries but Erin, (that post's on this site) has a daughter a few weeks older than mine. Well she just needs some extra prayers, I'll leave it Erin to explain later...
But for now would anyone mind throwing Stella's health, well-being & recovery in with your daily chat w/ the man in charge?
Can we also throw one in for Stella's parents?
Thanks in advance everyone!!
Many Blessings to you & your Families!

You guys are making me tear up, and I'm in the hospital's family resource center! Thank you all very much, I needed this pick me up right now! Yesterday we were told we'd get to go home next Friday, I didn't believe it could be that long since we've already been here 12 days, but yes, we've got at least another week before they can close Stella up. Her BPI(primary)surgery was Sept.12th, then the incision on her neck/shoulder became infected and we've been in the hospital since. The doctor had to open her back up and now the wound is packed daily and she's on IV antibiotics every 6 hours, but we're trying to stay positive! She just needs the time to heal, that's what I keep telling myself! She is SO tough! At her first dressing change the anesthisiologist(sp?) said that if she (the anestisiologist) had taken that amount of meds she'd be flat on the floor, but not Stella! Stella was still screaming and trying to hit and kick them all away from her! It made me laugh later, it's that toughness that'll get her through! Thank you all for you're prayers and good wishes, I very much appreciate everyone on here!

Oops, I meant Sept 26th was the primary surg date, not the 12th!

Thanks for the update Erin! Hope Stella is doing well with not much to do. You are so right, her toughness will come in very handy later. No one will want to pick a fight with this strong little girl!

Big Hugs and Friday will be here before you know it!

How old is Stella and is this her first surgery?

Erin, I'm so sorry to hear this. We will keep her in our prayers.

Erin it is tough on the first surgury, hang in their. It does get better. Prays are with you and your family.
