Today's trip to the OR

Well, we went down to see the surgeon at 10am. He was encouraged by what he saw, but there was still a small part in the middle of the wound that needed to heal. So they are putting the wound vac back on until Thurs. when they'll take her back down to the OR to look again. If it looks better they'll close her up then. The good news, also, is that he was pretty confident that they'd just be able to close up the wound, and she wouldn't need a skin graft. So we're very grateful for that and continue to pray for healing.
We gave Payton another bath last night. They're not her favorite, but she does okay. When we get her all unbundled she just looks like a string bean - so long and lean. She's pretty cute :). We love having moments to hold her and being able to get to know our little girl. We'll be excited to introduce her to you! :)
