Update on Regina

[Guest guest]

First thank you all for the well wishes. Regina appreciates them. Doc

said that she'll be coming home tomorrow. He already filled out the

discharge papers and I promised her I would be up there bright and early

to bring her home. We did get some not so good news again. They found a

large amount of blood in her urine and decided to do a sonogram to check

for kidney stones or fibroids. Well they found a 6 cm cyst on her right

ovary and her uterus is so enlarged with fibroids that it has to come

out. She's had a bulge in that area for quite some time now and thought

it was fluid retained from the tummy tuck. Had an appt with the plastic

surgeon for him to aspirate it in two weeks. You can actually feel it if

you put your hand on her tummy.

She is devastated at the thought of having more surgery. There was just

no consoling her tonight. She's worried about the kids, ruining their

vacation, etc. Whatever she could think of to make herself upset, she

managed to do. I just let her vent. Doc finally prescribed a sedative

for her so she can get some sleep. Just so much to deal with. Will

probably have the surgery the second week of July. Needs to have it done

during the summer before her classes start again in the fall and we have

a family vacation planned for the last week of August, so she wants to

be well enough for that. It's a tradition that we take the kids away the

week before school starts.

Has a bad case of the blues right now, but know when she gets home

she'll feel much better.

We appreciate all the kind thoughts and prayers you have sent her way.
