09/22/11--Surgery in the Future

Sorry it has been a few days since our last post.  MK had to meet with her doctor in order to develop a new game plan since IVF wasn't succesful for us.  As it turns out, the plan is for another laproscopic surgery on Monday.  Yes, this Monday, September 09/26.  We are set to arrive at Brookwood Hospital at around 4:30am.  Why do they insist we arrive so early?  We won't go back until 6, 7, even maybe 8am!!  At any rate, he Pelvic Pain Specialist will be performing a 3 or more hour surgery to attempt to clean out ALL the endometriosis for her entire pelvic area.  He is also planning to remove her left ovary and left tube.  We have suspected for quite some time that her left side is causing a lot of trouble getting pregnant, but mainly, it causes her a great deal of pain.  In fact, the doctor equated her level of pain to that of a cancer patient!  Due to the extensive nature of the surgery, we will have the pleasure of staying at Brookwood Monday night.  This will ensure that MK's pain and discomfort can be properly managed as well as the fact that after this surgery, it will likely be difficult for her to move around.

Thank you to everyone for their continued support, love, and prayers.  As I have with the last surgery and the one before that, I pray that this will be MK's last.  I sincerely pray that this surgery will remove all of her pain and suffering.
