Thank you for the prayers, please keep them coming. The drain removal on Friday was very painful and Marco has been resting and recovering throughout the weekend. Unfortunately. he still has trouble sleeping due to his discomfort from the procedure. The frustrating part is that we are not even sure all of the fluid was removed and therefore it is a “wait and see” situation. Please pray that Marco’s body allows him to heal and seal up any part of the liver that might be secreting bile or other fluids. Our concern at this point is that the fluid begins to accumulate again which would lead to another infection and ultimately another drain repeating the same painful cycle.
Please also pray for Marco’s mental wellbeing. He is most resilient person I know, but even the toughest start to lose hope that they will ever truly feel better. It’s been a long 9 months of consistent pain. All he wants is to go back to work and get back to his normal life, what a blessing that would be!
Thank you for all of the love and support and especially for the prayers for our children and for our family. We are so grateful for each and every one of you and send all of our love and well wishes to you and your beautiful families.
XO
Julie and Marco
