Hello everyone...we leave the house at about 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning for Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines with Kambree for her cleft palate repair operation. It is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. and should take 3 to 5 hours to complete and then it is upstairs to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for a few days and then to the regular pediatric unit for a few days. We will have one of our laptops at the hospital and one at home for when I come home every night so I will keep everyone up to date with how she is doing.
This SHOULD be her last major operation until her bone graft to give her a top front jaw bone in another 9 or 10 years. We may have some dental and cosmetic operations in the next few years but this should be the last big one for several years if all goes well.
We know how special all of you are and how special your thoughts and prayers are so we just figured it wouldn't hurt to ask our friends here to keep Kambree in your thoughts one more time.
Updates coming late Tuesday...
