MK came out of surgery doing pretty well. It was around a 3hr surgery. Herdoctor is very optimistic that the work he performed will help her with her daily pain. We had entered this day thinking he might remove her left ovary and left tube, instead he was able to leave them both in place. He did however remove her right tube. He said it was so swollen with infection he consulted with our fertility doctors and they agreed it needed to come out. He was able to remove several "nodules" of endo throughout her pelvic area. The doctor also found several small cuts in her bladder caused by the endo that is certainly causing her additional discomfort.
I think he was shocked to see first hand how rough MK has had it. He even referred to her aggressive case as to the way cancer might "attack" the pelvic area.
We will wait for now to learn about the impact the success from this surgery will have and our fertility. Until then, we place MK's healing and recover in the hands of our Lord.
For those who have expressed and interest in stopping by the hospital, we are still here overnight and MK will be discharged sometime Tuesday. If you would like the room number, it should be available on patient directory or you can email, text, or call either my phone or MK's (I will answer)
Thank you to everyone who has been thinking of us and praying for us.
