7.12.16 Tomorrow's Surgery

Our DeVoe family had a photoshoot done this weekend with the talented Erin Cox Photography. Here are a few lovely shots for you before the details: 

We're checking Aimee in tomorrow afternoon for her second hip surgery, which will be to remove the hardware from each hip. This should be a much shorter surgery with much less bloodloss and a much shorter recovery. In fact, it should be a day procedure with no overnight stay. As always, no matter what type of proceedure, it is very scary to hand her over to the anesthesia team. The one time we can't be with her. 

A few prayer requests. First, for a smooth process throughout with no respiratory issues. Second, for a successful operation with no infections or complications. Third, for a manageable pain level and wisdom for how to manage her bowel "routine" afterward. 

As a side note, we are having a difficult time with that so called routine. Performing up to 4 enimas a day and having her spend up to 3 hours in the toilet chair. All this with sometimes no success and sometimes some. It is frustrating. 

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers tomorrow friends.
