It's been almost exactly a year since Anna had her major surgery; the surgery that changed her life. This week she had to have surgery to remove a calcium stone from her bladder. It was successful, and she only had to spend one night in the hospital. Dr. Grady and his team at Seattle Children's Hospital did a great job again.
Anna will have two urine bags strapped to her legs for a week or so, and then she will be able go about her life as before. She's feeling a bit of discomfort but has been a real trooper during this ordeal. Her sister Lily has been helpful in keeping her spirits up since she got home. These two girls have a joyful bond that is amazing to behold.
