Though She Be But Little, She Is Fierce!

This morning, Ladybugs surgery team had a big meeting with all of the surgeons from the children’s hospital, and 2 from out of town. They went over her tummy x-rays, ultrasounds, and the CAT scan. They were all of the same opinion that there is another obstruction – this time it is further up in the bowel (Upper Left Quadrant).

She will be going in for another surgery tomorrow (Friday) sometime. It is pretty unheard of to have a second obstruction after just having one fixed so there will be a couple surgeons on call to give some fresh eyes if need be.

You would never know that she is unwell to look at her. In fact, she has become the biggest little diva I’ve ever seen. She could be fussy one minute, but as soon as a nurse or doctor walks in she turns on the charm and starts smiling, chatting, and staring up at them with those gorgeous big eyes. Ladybug has definitely won the hearts of everyone here.

I’m thinking I need to make a sign for her hospital crib in big sparkly letters saying – ‘Though she be but little, she is fierce!’. This little princess has been through and is still going through so much – but she is a fierce little diva and will get through this too.
