I could have told you that for free.

On a Tiffany note, I took off Thursday, we're gonna go see a new urologist in Atlanta at emory. He's supposed to be good, her infectious disease dr set it up. Hoping and praying he can suggest something helpful.

We've had this in the box for about 6 m9nths. Finally put it together, only half the instructions were there, had to do some siphering! We needed a little extra space, so the mobile island will help.

Extra prep area always good.

An actual update, but not from Atlanta. I hadn't said anything, waiting on her to see the surgeon first to confirm. We don't know if any of this will help the infections, but there is a slight possibility it may. She's always had like a swoosh sound in her stomach (since removing her bladder), it's always been assumed it was just her stoma, and urine. One of her Dr's had an mri to check something, and saw a big hernia. The surgeon she saw today retrieved tons of scans from the past, and the hernia is there. She was amazed nobody ever addressed it, and says the swoosh is actually bowel content. Sge thinks there's a lot going on because of it, and that it could be contributing to the infections. She had a long, in depth, appointment with her, and she even said if fixing this doesn't help, she'd do everything she could to find her help. We don't know when yet, the dr is sending her scans to the radiology department to get the exact size, but she will be having surgery soon. You could feel the hardness in her stomach, but it's right on, and beside, her scar, so we just always assumed it was part of the scar. Also, she wants to get a plan in place with her infectious disease dr, so she'll have as little infection as possible when they do the surgery. Anything is worrisome with all she has going on, but the dr says a lot of her pain is from that, and there is the slight chance it'll help a little with the infections. I can't remember if I'd mentioned, and I'm already typing and too lazy to go back to see, but the antibiotics is becoming a problem. She's had a couple of confirmed seizures in the past month, and they're sure it's from the antibiotics. They're trying to give her as much break as they can without her getting septic, but she had to restart again today. Something has to give, so even a slight chance is pretty much worth the risk at this point. Just pray for her, and this upcoming surgery, and I'll update soon as I find out when.

Praying brother. She, and you and the girls, deserve a break. Praying this is it.
