Welcome to my CaringBridge website. I am using it to keep friends, family and prayer warriors updated in one place who would like to stay in the loop. I'll continue to post updates periodically on Facebook but it has gotten a little too personal. I know if you're here, you are looking for updates and I appreciate the support and encouragement. This journey has been so hard and long. I haven't given up yet. Persistence led me to my laparoscopy in March and a diagnosis of Stage 4 Endometriosis. This was missed by numerous doctors and should've been caught a decade earlier. But now under the care of Cleveland Clinic, I am getting the care I need from a team of specialists who speak and make decisions together. I appreciate your prayers and support as I am in the planning phase of a bowel surgery and a thoracic surgery possibly all in one with several pre-OP testing along the way. I'll be posting updates but also other things like we got here so you can spread awareness. Someone along the way could've said the word ENDOMETRIOSIS 💛🌷🎗 Thank you for your support and prayers! Deb
