Desi Update, She's in Surgery Today.....

In summary, Desi is currently in surgery for 7 1/2 hours due to two masses found in her CT scan. The family is dealing with the situation, with Joy being at the hospital and the rest of the family being snowed in at home. However, Desi made it through the surgery and surprisingly, her bladder does not have any holes as feared. She will be in the PICU for 10-14 days before moving to a different floor. A nurse has also been assigned to her who has taken care of her before and is known to be wonderful with her. The family is grateful for the prayers and hope for a speedy recovery. They also plan to finish their Christmas shopping soon.

Hi all,
I'd appreciate prayers for Desi and family today, she's currently in surgery and doctor has blocked off ALL day for her surgery. CT shows 2 masses, not sure what they are, air, tumors?? He's doing exploratory right now.

Joy is a wreck and down at hospital by herself and dealing with it all.

Mark and other kids are a wreck up here being so far away and not being able to be there for Desi and Joy. We're snowed in, we were to get 3-5, well I've already got about 6" and now they are changing to upwards of 12 by nightfall.


Thanks for prayers,

Lisa
 
Stay warm and we'll keep the prayer chain going!
 
praying and then praying some more!
 
Keeping them in my thoughts and prayers still...
 
I'll be praying.
 
I pray the Lord will give you a peacefull heart, and a complete and speedy healing for Desi.

Desi is a fighter that's for sure.

I got the call tonight, she made it through a 7 1/2 hour surgery. Bladder does NOT have any holes as they had feared, it either wasn't there to begin, or gasp, it healed itself.

The doctor said, he believes it had to have been there with what was happening before hand, but he's not sure what happened, but it wasn't there today, I guess he went over bladder very carefully and was shocked. Well DUH, power of PRAYER!!

She's expected to be in PICU for 10 days to 2 weeks and then moved back to peds before coming home. That's what they've told Momma Joy today. Praise God, this time, a nurse has gotten Joy $5.00 food vouchers for each day for cafeteria, as it's so expensive to eat at the hospital. So that's aslo been an answer to prayers.

At Danville they didn't get the snow we got here, so hopefully on Sat. Mark can run down and sit a spell with Joy and Desi before having to come home before next storm hits us.

This time, Desi also has a nurse who's taken care of her before (who's wonderful with her) that's asked to be her nurse for the duration of her stay no matter which floor she's on. So God is taking care of that too, as she's had issues with a couple of nurses this time.

Thanks again for all the prayers, we just need to keep her lifted in prayers and cloaking her in God's healing hands. Keep surprising the those doctors and having them scratch their heads in wonderment.


I'm hoping to be feeling well enough by next week to help finish their kids Christmas shopping and my kids as well.

THanks again,

Lisa
