Casher's surgery will be on Tuesday at 10 am. The head of the pediatric surgery team, Dr. Rothenberg, will be doing the surgery. We have heard that he is excellent. He will repair the hiatal hernia with a nissen wrap and the hope is that will end all this spitting and throwing up so that Cash can get up to normal feeds. The surgeon will also look at his liver and bioducts to see if they are working correctly and to rule out Biliary Atresia. If the bioducts are not working, he will perform the Kasai procedure and attach the liver directly to the intestines to excrete the bile. He will do a liver biopsy as well.
We ask you to pray with us that the surgeon will be creative with the procedures and that the nissen wrap will be successful and minimally invasive. We are praying that Cash does not have biliary atresia and that his liver function is normal. We also pray for no complications and for Cash to have a great recovery.
Mitch and I will be at the hospital on Tuesday with his parents. I will update the blog as we get news. Thank you for your love and support!!
