Another surgery

Kecia saw Dr. Laidly on Friday and was told that her new port looks awesome. It is almost completely healed and functioning 100%. The incision where her old port was removed, however, is not healing up. It still bleeds everyday and is hosting an infection that they can't seem to clear up. They have scheduled her for another surgery on Wednesday to do a "scar restoration." It will involve removing as much infection and scar tissue as possible and then stitching her back up. It could involve a skin graft if they have to remove so much tissue that it cant be pulled together. It sounds like a small surgery...and it is just a day surgery, but Kecia has averaged one operation every 7 weeks since this whole thing began and she is feeling a little down about going through it all again. She keeps thinking that "this will be the last for awhile" but then there always seems to be one more. She has come SO FAR! But surgery takes its toll on the body and she is feeling very tired. Please pray for her as she prepares herself for the procedure that she has come to know all too well.
