God Delivers

I am so excited!! The doctor came in to check on Marsha. He told us that after lunch she could go home!!



The house is ready. When I got home last night, I moved some furniture around so that she can watch TV from a comfy chair. I finished up some laundry and cleaned up some areas of the house that needed touch ups. But I digress....



So lets recap the last 9 days....



Thursday a week ago Marsha and I went to visit Dr. Rutledge. Her abdominal pains were pretty bad. - http://tommarshaleneveu.blogspot.com/2008/08/hey-gang-as-many-of-you-know-marsha-has.html

Well surgery happened on Monday. But it didn't go as planned. The "rare hernia" wasn't found. He inspected the entire intestinal tract. No hernias found anywhere. Then he turned his attention to the pancreas. Again, a clean bill of health. So then he looked at the appendix. Here he found some scar tissue showing previous inflammation. So he took out the appendix. That left only the Gall Bladder. He looked at it closely. It looked normal, but there were no other sources for her problems. So he took out the Gall bladder and sent it off to pathology.

Now the wait was on. As Marsha was recovering from surgery. (Check our past blogs) we were waiting on the pathology report to come in. Wait and Wait and Wait. We prayed many times over her and that there would be an answer to the pathology report.

Thursday came around and Dr. Rutledge came to visit. Guess what.... The Pathology report came back with chronic inflammation of the Gall Bladder. Dr. Rutledge thinks this is where all the problems have been originating. So now we just have to get healed enough from surgery to go home.

Fast forward to Saturday - Today... One of Dr. Rutledge's partners came in to visit. He told us that after she eats a good soft diet lunch and has no problems she can go home.... So I am off to Chicken Express to get her some Mashed potatoes and Iced Tea.

Thank you for all your prayers, phone calls, and visits. We love you all!!!
