We had a scare when we got back from Texas. Allison was having chest pain and ended up visiting the ER three times without a diagnosis. After consulting a heart doctor friend, Jared took Allison to her OB. An ultra sound showed a grapefruit-size cyst on her ovary. Thus emergency surgery was scheduled. During surgery the cyst was drained and removed, seeing more blood the surgeon decided to do some exploring. In his exploration he found that Allison had had an ectopic pregnancy and her fallopian tube had burst and tissue had attached to her colon.
Since Dave and I are retired, we were able to help out the last 3 weeks at a minute's notice. I went up most days to watch the kids and fix meals. Makenna and Colin also came here over the weekend so Allison and Jared could be together and rest.
Blessings in February:
- Jared phoned a friend
- Allison's surgeon was very thorough
- she is recovering nicely from the surgery
- her chest pain has gone away
- she still has a possibility of more children
- Dave and I were retired
One of the things I took advantage of, was taking the kids to story time at the library.
I am so thankful Allison is healing - I will miss being with them every day, but know it was time they were a family again!!
