Colostomy

OK, so this part was a surprise.  Lauren had to have surgery this morning for a colostomy.  This will stay present for a few months until she is completely healed from other surgeries...  We have been told that she will require two more surgeries over a few additional months to finish the task of creating the tube for her to be able to make a proper bowel in the proper place...

Daddy and I went to visit her after she recovered-she was so peacefully sleeping.  As we were getting ready to leave she opened her eyes for us.  First time for me since i saw her at birth, so I was really excited!

Here is a link that shows her condition if you are interested:
