4-27-09 Well our girl seems to be healing up nicely...slowly but surely. She has far less pain now and has lowered her pain meds consideribly to an as needed basis. She still moves like an old granny and can't go very long without rest but her doctors are very pleased with her recovery. She goes in tomorrow morning to see about getting the drainage tubes removed. It looks like they will probably take one out but the other still looks like it isn't quite ready yet. She is scheduled to have her new port put in on Wednesday but that is also in question since her levels are still pretty low and it looks like she may have a stomach virus that she is trying to conquer. She is very pleased with her new team of doctors and that is a HUGE answer to prayer. Kecia is starting to get very restless with this whole "recovering from surgery" thing. She feels good enough to want to do things but not actually good enough to do them. She came out to our house for dinner last night and said it was the highlight of her week. (oh, now that is so sad becasue we literally just ate dinner and sat around talking) She is back to work, doing reports and projects from home which keeps her mind occupied and gives her that sense of accomplishment that Kecia desperatly needs. I am so thankful for that! It does so much more than just pay her bills. She can't stand to just "do nothing", so having work to do is another real blessing that we are grateful for throughout all of this. I will probably wait until Wednesday to update on both doctor visits...We are praying for the doctors' wisdom as they make important decisions about Kecia's treatment. I feel quite certain there will be more good news to come!
