After the surgery

Thanks to everyone. So far, we have benefited from your prayers so much. We need them really. We’re sure, Mert thanks to all of you too. Surgery is over. It has taken about one hour. I talked to Dr. Arda, when he went out from the operation room. He said that surgery was good. Intestines, stomach and spleen were up. But the lobe of liver was in its proper place. There wasn’t any lack of tissue in his diaphragma, therefore patch was not being used. Because of rigidity on belly, he will have some discomforts following days. Dr. Arda also said that the first 72 hours are critical for him.

Prayers for all CDH babies and their families.

P.S. Mert says, he loves his aunt Esra in Germany and says he will play with his cousin who will come on February, 2007!

Love,
Emel and Aytekin.
