It is 10 minutes after Midnight and I have just gotten Laura settled in. Her Doctor was running late and didn't start her surgery until 4 O'clock so he didn't finish up until about 6 O'clock. After 4 hours in recovery, a trip to the pharmacy, and picking up the kids, we are home and Laura is resting.
Her surgery went well, and they were able to do everything laproscopically. The doctor said he didn't see anything of concern while he was in there, although she did have a great deal of endometriosis. He said he had to "laser like crazy" to get the endometriosis, but that he feels like he cleaned things up pretty nicely.
She doesn't seem to be too uncomfortable at this point, and so far the pain seems to be under control...let's hope we can keep it that way.
One funny story before I go. We (the nurse and I) had gotten Laura up to go to the bathroom for the first time, and while we were standing outside the bathroom waiting, the nurse ask Laura if she was able to go. Laura said "I was able to get few tinkles out". The nurse looked at me and said "tinkles ?". I explained to her that we were in the process of potty training our 3 year old daughter.

Thanks for the update, Craig. Sounds like all is progressing pretty well. We are so thankful. We will continue to pray for a speedy recovery. The "tinkle" story was cute. Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Terry
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update - praise God that nothing unexpected was found. I remember those days when I would lapse into talking about going potty lol! Can totally relate to the tinkle story. Was reading in Romans and love what the message says in 5:3 "......we continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop a passionate patience in us, and how the patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next...............we can't round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit." Praying that the pills are small and the relief is as big as He is.
ReplyDeleteWe are all glad to hear that things went well yesterday! We are continuing to pray!
ReplyDeleteHope your recovery is going well with little pain. Thinking of you and praying!

Every cell of her being is your precious creation and at your command. And how this all came to be revealed to her is by your perfect design and timing. All glory and thanksgiving to you, Lord, for revealing it early, for her swift and competent doctors, and for guiding her decisions. Thank you for the people you have surrounded her with. Thank you, Father, for handling ALL of this for her. Please continue to hear all of the prayers for Laura as her friends and family spend time in your Word and before the throne of grace on her behalf. Please fill her with your peace.
