On Tuesday, March 2, Angie had a laproscopic myoectomy at NC Baptist Hospital. Surgeons removed two fibroid tumors, one of which was embedded deep in the wall of her uterus. What was expected to be a two-hour surgery took six hours, and the recovery room nurses had a hard time waking Angie up. Because of her sleep apnea, she would stop breathing, and nurses would have to wake her up to make her breathe. So an outpatient surgery became an overnight stay, and Angie came home Wednesday afternoon. She's been sleeping for three days and has been well cared for by Stan (who got a free snow day to stay home on Wednesday) and her parents (Mom stayed overnight in the hospital and has cooked up a storm. Dad plays cards with Angie when she can stay awake long enough to get through a hand.).
This surgery is supposed to make the uterus more hospitable for pregnancy, so this blog may do double duty one day. We want to be parents; however that happens is fine by us.
Oh bless your hearts. My prayers are with you as you continue this emotional (and physical) journey.
