Hello all,
I’m writing on behalf of my sister, who is recovering from her surgery today. The surgery went well, although it took a little longer than expected… about 8 hours in total. The doctors were able to repair both places. A spinal tap drain was left in to avoid brain fluid pressure building up. It will remain there for 3-4 days while she remains in the hospital. She is very sore, everything hurts, and the drain will probably cause some severe headaches. Keep these things specifically in your prayers: Thanks that the surgery went well, that she will heal quickly, and that the pain levels will be bearable. I spoke to her husband several times today. The doctors kept him posted throughout the procedure, and he was there in the recovery room. Keep him in your prayers too while he juggles daily life and the hospital.
More updates to come…
Thanks for the update so soon.
Thanks Jeannette! I thank God the surgery went well! Will pray the pain is minimal!
Thank you for the update. Peg is a strong person. She is in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank-you for the update on Peg’s surgery. We have been praying and will continue to pray for her and her whole family as you all work together for her comfort and recovery. Praise Our Lord that this first big step is behind her and that all went well!
Can you say how soon the pain will go away and how soon she gets home?
And are her mental functions OK? It would be a shame to have to teach her ….
Praise God! So glad it went well – praying she continues to recovery without any complications! Thanks for the update!!
Prayed for you in chapel, Peg. Apparently some missed your campus post and were surprised to learn of your surgery. When I had my spinal surgery, the worst was not being able to drive. Ugh! Blessings always. Barb Costa
Continuing to pray for your speedy and complete recovery, Peg. How’s it going?
Hi Barb (and all)… this is my first post-surgery note… pleased to say recovery is coming along and I thank everyone very much for your prayers. Barb you are right… looking ahead the greatest challenge will be the inability to drive… if anyone is willing to help out with that please let me know… also with ” babysitting” me for the first week home. Many thanks… Peg
