Surgery Complete

Mama is recovering from surgery quite well. The surgeon placed two drains out of the three pockets of infection that they found and the third pocket is behind the liver (I'm guessing hard to get to) and they're hoping that it goes away on it's own. She will be in the hospital at least until Wednesday. 

Surgery

Mama had her CT scan last night and they found several pockets of infection so they are taking her into surgery now to insert drains into the pockets. Please pray that this surgery goes smoothly and that the infection can be taken care of easily. Love you mama, you can do it!

Back In The Hospital

Mama went to her appointment today with the surgeon and got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that it's not stool that is secreting from her wound. The bad news is it's pus which means there's a pocket of infection they have to find. She also is severely dehydrated so she has been admitted back into the hospital for a few days. They will be doing a CT scan to try to find the pocket of infection and decide what to do depending on those results. I will update the blog as we get more information on her situation. Please continue to pray and keep her in your thoughts. Love you mama!

Still Not In The Clear

Mama had a doctors appointment today as her incision still has not fully closed and it recently has started secreting fluids. The doctor that she met with today has referred her to a surgeon because the fluids look to be pus and stool, so something is not quite right. Her appointment with the surgeon is on Friday and I will update again once we hear what the next step will be. Unfortunately it will most likely result in another surgery (hence the surgeon:)). Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as this is a step back and I'm afraid that it will effect her spirits. It is noticeable that talking about this news upsets her greatly so I would appreciate it if the conversations with her are kept upbeat and off this subject, I do not want to add more stress to her already stressful situation. I love you mama, please stay strong and know that we are all here for you!
