After a lot of doctor visits we have made it to the day that will decide it all. We are awaiting the test results of Skyleigh's MRI and VCUG. They had to see if she has an muscle to work with to do her first surgery. The tests started at noon today. She first had a vcug which is where they put water in her bladder to see if it is going into her kidneys. I also believe this test was to find out where the fistula was located. That is where there is some kind of hole that was letting the stool come out her pee originally. Then she went on to the MRI. She had to be sedated for that test. The test took her two hours. She was then moved to a recovery room where she waiting to wake up. After that they moved us into a room to monitor her breathing for 12 hours. She has been really sick from the meds they gave her and has thrown up all over the place. As of now she is sleeping peacefully. We await the wound team in the morning to look at her stoma and the test results. Wish us luck......... to be granted with the opportunity to have surgery would be amazing. I really want Skyleigh to have the opportunity for the most NORMAL life she can.
