So here's the short of it, 
Send more positive thoughts and prayers for Shelley!

And here's the long.


Last night Shelley ended up back in the hospital!

Her fever went back up and her surgeon wanted her back in the hospital.  He just had her admitted instead of having her deal with an ER ordeal.  She is doing OK right now as far as we know -- so here's the story!

Before her liver surgery one of the interventions used to try to control her continuous vomiting and pain was to put a stent into her liver.  During the liver surgery they couldn't fine the stent and with the surgery going as long as it did and as complicated as it was, they decided that retrieving the stent would just have to wait until another time.  Everyone knew at some time it would have to come out, but it was probably not expected that it would be so soon and under these circumstances.

Apparently her surgeon, was pretty sure that the stent was the likely culprit.  He removed it this afternoon with an endoscopic procedure.  We heard just before she went into the surgery, and just afterwards.  But haven't had any word since.  Like most parents we assume that's good news.

We are hoping that now she'll be able to rest, get well, and soon enough be back to normal!

We all would appreciate prayers and positive thoughts for her recovery and good health.
