Second Surgery Completed

Yesterday the surgery took about 4 hours and was a little longer than expected because of scar tissue. However, it was very successful and ML has the bag off!!! She is very relieved but still feel as if it is a phantom bag because she feels like it should still be attached.

She is in good spirits and sounds much better this go around. She has 4 more laparoscopic scars and her stoma is sewed shut! She is dealing with pain of course and is taking it slowly. She has gone on two walks already! The doctors are hoping she will be home by Friday, but she does not mind staying through weekend just to make sure everything is working properly. ("grin"...as ML would put it.)

The hospital that she is at is way more accommodating and they are respecting her as a patient much more. They are checking on her more often, not letting the door slam behind them in the middle of the night, and have way better bed side manners. However, she would like internet connection. You can't have it all, right?

Continue to pray for her that no infection arises and that her pain will begin to subside. She is a trooper!!
