Today McKenna had her procedure done, and it went very well. She didn't even have to be intubated during her surgery, only sedated, which was very good.
She also didn't end up having to have a drain that Amber has to clean and take care of, which will be much easier for recovery at home.
Although these things went well, they really won't know for sure how effective the sclerosing agent was for at least a couple of weeks. Pray that the agent traveled successfully into the smaller malformations and that Kenna won't have to go back in for more injections.
The MRI was done today as well, but the results of that will not be known for a couple days.
Kenna recovered well from the surgery, she seems a bit "punch drunk" according to Grandma, but all in all is doing wonderful!!
Also, pray for Amber. The stress of all of this finally caught up to her today, and she is feeling very sick. Aunt Andrea and Chris Scott are doing TKM, which is helping, but some prayers sent Amber's way would be a huge blessing.
Thanks for all your prayers and I will probably update again soon, depending on how Amber is feeling!
Love,
Jennette
