Day 5- 2nd Surgery- Everlee is Strong!

Hi all- this is Kristi, Karlee's oldest sister; she wanted me to update you all. Karlee & Scott are busy with Everlee right now @ the hospital. Everlee had her 2nd surgery today. She is such a strong baby; she came out with flying colors. Only on day 5 now and she has lived through so much!
The opening in her back has been enclosed and is healing well, though infection is still a concern. Today she had to have her shunt placed. This little one will have some war wounds and many stories to tell I'm sure. Karlee & Scott said she handles surgery quite well, because she has had minimal assitance in pain relief and shows few signs of discomfort.
There are more challenges to come, but this gal proves she can handle anything, just like her mommy & daddy! Aubree seems to be handling everything well too; I know she's really excited that Everlee gave her a Dora doll!
Karlee & Scott are very thankful for all of your warm wishes, support, and love!
