Update:

Abby's central line came out last night.  The infectious disease doctors all got together and decided that the yeast in the line was too dangerous to continue with.  In the end, I was fine with it.  She wasn't going to be ready to get rid of it in two weeks, so there wasn't really any point in hanging on to a line that was making her sick. 

She did great in the OR, and surprisingly, the biggest complication was getting a peripheral line in.  It took them 6 tries to finally get an IV in her wrist that infiltrated this morning.  The nurse here got one in her hand, but she's a hard stick.  Hopefully this one holds until Monday.  She's on the schedule for another broviac then. 

She had a small bowel follow through study today.  I'm anxious to see exactly what the problem is with feeding her.  Immediately, we noticed the food backing up toward the stomach.  She also has abnormal anatomy because of the malrotation.  We hope GI will help us to figure out what to do next.  It might just take more time. 

I continue to feel peaceful and praise the Lord for his provision.  I had high hopes of writing tonight, but I'm exhausted, so I'm heading to bed.  :)
