We were able to come home early this afternoon after quite a long night at the ER. Lacey's pain seemed to have subsided some as the day broke today and her abdominal xray was normal early this morning. The doctor ordered her a normal lunch tray and she ate hospital turkey and was able to tolerate it well, so we came home!! Praise God! That was yet another scary moment for Lacey and our family. We (and the doctors, who were slightly confused in South MS after such an operation) were considering surgery in the next day or two if the obstruction didn't get better. But once again, God delivered her and relieved her at the brink of her mental and physical destruction. He remains good and his grace abounds in our lives. She is home now and continues having some mild back pain, but much improved from yesterday's severe pain and projectile vomitting. She will hopefully continue to heal at home and we are praying for continued progress. Although yesterday was quite frightening and discouraging to all of us, it was not as bad as the repeated pancreas attacks that we've dealt with for the past several years.
PRAISE THE LORD! We are so thankful He hears our prayers. Hate we didn't get to enjoy a "real" Thanksgiving dinner together, but Caleb and I sure enjoyed our visit at the hospital with ya'll today. We are still praying for Lacey's continued improvement. Love yall so much!
