Our Rainbow

  Mom is out of surgery. As I posted earlier, the plastic surgeon was unavailable this morning so they only did a wound “washout.” Dr. Bansal was pleased with how that went and said there were no signs of any infections or fluid. The “hole” looked much better than expected and seemed to show signs that it might be closing. Dr Bansal wants to do a CT scan today to further examine how the area is healing. 

  The plan is still to do the “muscle flap” surgery tomorrow. Whether they open her chest completely will depend on the results of a cat scan they’re doing now. We will know how invasive the surgery will be and an approximate time sometime this evening. 
   Please pray the cat scan results are positive and they do not have to open her chest completely. If they do that, it will set her recovery and PT back significantly. We will post another update later tonight.

   I have no doubt that the Lord made the plastic surgeon unavailable for this mornings surgery so that Dr Bansal could make this discovery. His plans are always so much better than ours. Praising Him through this storm and watching closely as he creates our rainbow. 

This picture was sent to me by Kara Kinchen, a sweet friend of the family. Our family is so blessed by the thousands of friends and family that are praying us through this storm. We are looking forward to the day we all get to sit back and admire the rainbow.
