Surgery Cancelled AGAIN
Posted by Andrew & Jessica on Monday Oct 8, 2007 Under Mary ElizabethThat’s right, surgery is cancelled again. And yes, it’s because she’s sick. She was hardly sick last time if you could even call it that. But this time it’s the real deal. Fever, congestion the whole nine yards. And she’s swollen too……
You see when she gets sick her malformation is affected as it’s a
lymphatic one. The lymphatic system kicks in to fight
sicknesses and for her, the extra fluid builds up as her lymphatic system
doesn’t drain properly. So anytime she’s pretty sick- she has these
flare ups, and is swollen. Her tongue & face are right now, so it
adds additional discomfort.
So due to that she’ll have a round of steroids/antibiotics prescribed by Dr. Waner so that it doesn’t get worse and so that there is no LM infection that becomes a problem. She should be feeling better in a few days.
She was however checked at the pediatrician’s office and is clear of anything like strep or ear infections etc.
So….. onto the new date- October 25th.
Prayers are that she can be free of any complications, sicknesses and get the surgery she needs and that surgery goes better than expected when it finally does happen.
