Update on Bailey-Boppers

While Bailey is recovering very nicely, things didn't go as planned. About 2 hrs 45 min into her surgery, Dr. Gower walked in the room. She said Bailey's sinuses were "just a mess". She said she'd never seen anything like it. Dr. Gower also said she had NEVER had to stop a surgery without completing it, but she had to with Bailey. She was able to complete the cheek sinuses and correct a badly deviated septum, but could n0t do the upper sinuses.

The surgery has been just about a week and a half ago. Bailey has recovered like a champ! She went back to school last Wednesday, and gets to return to her regular physical play/ activities today. She is having some headaches, but none have been the bad, debilitating ones that she's prone to.

Dr. Gower has refered us to another specialist at Emory. He is a "step up" from Dr. Gower's abilities. Dr. Sobol is still a pediatric ENT, but he has on hand a team of rhinologists that are available to help him with difficult surgeries. Bailey will remain on antibiotics until we see Dr. Sobol and he will direct us from there. (This will put her close to 3 months on antibiotics! Yikes!!)

Please continue to lift Bailey up in your prayers!!! She has been nothing less than amazing through all of this!!!!

I'll update as we go along......
