We have had a lot of people ask if there is a significant difference in the way her belly looks now that her tumor is out. Well, as you can see the answer is yes.
This is Tay's belly days before surgery. It was bloated looking, but tight and hard. Her belly button really popped out and you can definatly see the bulge on her left side.
This is obviously her beautiful belly after surgery, I mean right after surgery. You can already tell that her stomach is softer and the bulge is gone and her belly button isn't popping out quite so far.
It was a little difficult to see my baby girl hooked up to so much stuff. When she came out of surgery she had an IV in her foot and in her hand. She was hooked up to moniters for her heart rate, breathing and oxygen levels. She had a folly in and an epiderhal, plus a tube in her nose. She was quite a sight to see and we celebrated every time we got to take something off of her.
Her belly is looking even better now. All her bandages are off and it looks like a really healthy scar. If you can imagine, she is even skinnier then before (obviously with a huge tumor out of the way) but she is feeling great and looking great. Aaron and I agree that we will probably not have to fight with Taylee about wearing a bikini :)
