Wow, I hope she pulls through for you! That has to be tough suturing a little one like that.

Thanks for all of the replies and caring that everyone has sent her way. I have not checked on her today, as I am at work, but I will post an update later this evening when I get home.

Good luck with her! I'm sure you know by now that we are all almost as nervous as you are about her...she's got alot of people thinking and praying for her!!

As for names, I immediately thought of these girls that I graduated with. They were conjoined at birth by the abdomen, and they weren't sure if they would survive the seperation. They were named Hope and Faith, and seeing as I graduated high school with them, I'd say they are doing just fine!! Hope your little girl pulls through as well!

MONDAY UPDATE:
She is still looking as if she is ready for the long haul. It appears that the hernia is getting drier and closing up very well. I think it may take a while for the scales to grow back together, but I have a lifetime to wait. It also appears that she may have some bruising ahead of the hernia (at least I hope it is bruising, as it could be internal bleeding, but I don't think so), but looks well overall. She is starting to look a little dehydrated from being in a dry environment, so I held her head near the water bowl while supporting her body, and she stuck her head in and appeared to drink for about 20 seconds. I did get to see her flick her tongue today, and watched her for quite a while to see if she crawled normally, as She normally stays in one spot. I put her in the front of the tub and watched her crawl to the rear near the heat, so that is fine as well. Since the wound appeared to be drying nicely, I went ahead and put a small amount of Neosporin on it today, to help with infection and protect the wound. I will keep up with the updates as long as anyone wants to read them.

Sincerely,

That's great news, Tim!! I can't wait to hear more about her/see more photos of her as she grows into a happy, healthy BP. I'm so glad that she seems to be adapting so well.

I assure you we'd all be very upset if you don't keep them up!
