Today the surgeons gave us the gameplan! They are going to remove her spleen on Tuesday. They need Haley to recieve two immunizations prior to surgery. These immunizations will help protect her from certain types of bacteria that she will have a hard time fighting off once her spleen is removed. She recieved one of those immunizations today. The doctors want to give her body a couple of days to gain protection from the first immunization. They are sending her home later today and we are to bring her back to the hospital Monday morning and she wil be admitted again and they will give her the 2nd immunization, draw labs, and give her "golytly" to clean her bowels out prior to surgery(this will give the surgeons more room in her abdomen to perform the surgery). They will have to make a fairly large incision d/t the spleen being so large. She will have three surgeons working on her during surgery. She will be in the Pediatric ICU after the surgery, this is normal for this type of surgery. She will be in the hospital for probably 5 days depending on how well everything goes. While she is at home the next two days, she is to keep her activities to a minimum. We will have to keep Ammon and Caleb off of her!! That will be a challenge because they miss her so much! Please keep her in your prayers. Thanks for the prayers, food, and support!! We will continue to update everyone on this blog!

Love,
Carrie Ann
