We left the hospital and stopped for dinner with Peggy & Glen. We tried to update everyone that we knew were on their way to the hospital. Since my Dad isn't up to driving 3 - 6 hours on the road yet, he and Mom did not come over from Sweetwater and we were able to stop Christy before she drove in from Jackson.
I know God works in mysterious ways and we just have to trust that He is watching over us and will work things out the way they need to be done. Even though the aspirin question had been discussed with the doctor last week, that began the discussion today. The anesthesiologist was concerned with aspirin still being in her system with this particular surgery combined with the fact that she had been on anti-biotics for an upper respiratory cough last week. This surgery is very bloody anyway and with these additional factors, it made it more risky and could have created issues with her breathing. On top of that, it brought about questions about her back surgery that we are in the process of scheduling early next year.
So now the doctor who was going to perform this surgery is going to meet with the anesthesiologist and the doctor who will perform the back surgery and decide how to proceed. There is a possibility that we could still have this surgery in the next few weeks or we could end up having the back surgery first. We just have to be patient and see what they decide and then turn it over to God to lead us to make the right decision.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers and watch this blog for updates. In the meantime, you can catch up on what our family has been doing over the last year by reviewing the older posts on this blog site.
