Harrison's fundo is scheduled for Thursday, May 17th. Our
anniversery is on the 18th, so I suppose we'll enjoy fine cafeteria
dining that evening! Really though, it will be the best anniversary
ever!! I am apprehensive, but look forward to the end result. Emma
is so much happier since her surgery & I can just hope & pray that
Harrison's will be as successful.
We were told by the surgery nurse to expect to have a "button"
placed for burping. Emma never had one. Can anyone help with
more info on that? We don't go to see the sugeon until the day
before surgery since it is such a drive & want to know a bit about it
before then. What does it look like? Does it have to be surgically
removed? etc. . . .
