To all friends and family: This blog is intended to keep all of you posted on information, updates, and thoughts from the Turner family as we work to bring Karsie into this world. To all who have been supportive through prayer, kind words, and hugs we both want to say "Thank you" from the bottom of our hearts. This has been and will continue to be a very trying time for us and every act of love from you has given us inspiration and strength. -Kevin, Michelle, & Karsie-

Surgery Plan

Here is the plan for tomorrow (Monday).

We check into the hospital at 7:30am. Karsie will have some surgery prep and lab work.

At about 9:30am Karsie will have surgery. The plan is for the surgeon to remove the track from the g-tube stoma.

We are not sure how long the surgery will actually take. It took about 1.5 hours to place the g-tube and do the fundoplication, so hopefully not much more than that. He did not anticipate her needing to go to the PICU after. However, he did think she would probably need to be in the hospital for a few days after.

We will do our best to keep things updated here. We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers you have been already offering up on our behalf. We are praying for a smooth surgery, quick recovery, rest, and peace for all of us.
