Ruby has been stable throughout the day. She continues to do well with her breathing tests and the ventilator has stayed on low. Therefore she will have surgery tomorrow at 11am. The surgery will consist of the following:
-Doctors will make a 1 inch incision below Ruby's ribcage.
-They will then proceed to move the stomach and intestines back to the correct position.
-Finally, they will close the hole in the diaphragm.
From what the doctors have told us, the surgery is pretty "elementary." The main concern for them is how well she is able to breathe on her own (or her lung capacity) afterward.
Thanks again to all our friends in family that have given us so much love and support!
Feel the love Rubababy!!!!!
ps. Happy Anniversary Josh and Whitney!!
