Journal entry by Sandy Huston —
Hello everyone! First of all--I'm sorry that I haven't updated this in a couple of weeks. We got back home and it has been one big game of catch-up ever since; what can I say.
The first few days back were rough, but two Sundays Lissy made a turn for the better, and she hasn't looked back! We are SO grateful! She is pretty well back to normal, with a little coughing occasionally, a few pounds to regain, and strength/stamina to rebuild. We were able to make our family trip to Virginia over Memorial Day weekend (I was amazed; a few days earlier I though NO way) and we're now home trying to catch up (well, I am) and getting into enjoying summer. We will follow up with our surgeon here in a couple weeks and also with the GI team next month.
The long-term prognosis-- we do not know. My prayer is that this time God would spare her the return of scar tissue; would you pray that with me? And that there would be no issues with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome-- if that has been part of it. I would like to see her able to go full-steam ahead with life. Come what may, I hope we will face it with thanksgiving, prayer and courage.
Thanks for joining us on the journey.
