Good news!

Baby Ripley is doing great!  The surgeon was able to push the omphalocele inside her abdomen and clamped it off for right now. The omplalocele sac contained some liver and spleen and was smaller than expected.  He plans to do the surgery on Thursday to close up her belly and said she might even get a belly button.  She is still breathing on her own and sleeping like a baby!
