First and foremost, thank you all for the thoughts and prayers! I have been out of sorts since Wednesday so it has helped knowing that the prayer department is covered.
Della is doing fantastic! Her surgery went as good as a surgery could go. The doc said everything looks great and thinks she won't have any pooping issues as she gets older. She said typically kids with this issue delay potty training but that is about it, which is nothing since her brother is giving us a ton of experience in that department.
Sorry I am just updating, yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind. Her surgery was delayed and then the in-laws attacked and then I passed out around 7. She handled the anesthesia like a champ and was smiling away not long after returning to her room. Her pain caught up to her around 2:30 this morning and it took awhile to get it managed but now we think we found the right recipe of painkillers.
So far it hasn't been bad. I; however, didn't think I was going to be a helicopter mom. I totally had planned on going home to spend some time with Jack but now I don't want to leave for minute. I have to say that the hospital has been awesome. The nurses are so good with her and Della really responds to them.
Thanks again for all the prayers and thoughts. I feel like you have taken Della on as your own and that means so much to me. Here are some pics for you. The first one is pre-op and the other 2 were taken this morning.

I'm glad she's being such a champ through this. You're doing great too! I don't blame you for not wanting to leave her side. Hope the next few days go by fast for you and you're home resting soon.
