Alexa is back in
surgery now. Actually she went back
about 7:30 & it is now 9:00. It’s
taken me that long to get myself together & figure out this new
computer. Ty bought me a new laptop for
my birthday!! When he got there
yesterday & we got back to the apartment I jokingly asked him if he had
brought me anything. I was so surprised
when he said he did & he pulled a beautiful blue laptop out! I was happy but not as happy as I was to see
him. Anyway, Alexa had a very bad night, she had attacks all through the night. Luckily Ty was there & got up with her cuz I sure was tired. They 1st took
Alexa back alone to have her change into her gown & get her vitals,
etc. As Ty & I were sitting there
with the TV on I suddenly started to panic!
I have really never had a panic attack but I guess that is what one
feels like. I immediately pulled out Ty’s
ipad & pulled up my “special scripture”, D&C 98:1-3 & read it over
& over & started praying. I knew
we were doing what needed to be done but really, when you think about them
removing her spleen, duodenum, pancreas, etc. it is pretty overwhelming. How does one really LIVE without all of those
organs. Then I had to read the scripture
& remind myself that nothing is impossible with Heavenly Father! Then they called us back & I had to be
strong again. After they took her back
& we went back out to the waiting room I broke down again & was so
grateful to have Ty there by my side so I could cry on his shoulder. I wish every one of you could be here with us
but it is very comforting to know that you are all here in spirit. We feel so much love & support!!!! We will be fine. We are fine now. I just needed to cry. Now that I have posted this we will try to
sleep since she will need us later. They
told us this surgery will be till 8:00 tonight, maybe shorter, maybe
longer. We are praying that with
Heavenly Father guiding Dr. Chinnikota’s hands the surgery will go smoother
than he has ever imagined!! We love you
all!!
