Tilly's Surgery
Tilly, had surgery this morning at Scottish Rite hospital to remove a cyst on her right ovary. Dr. Bussey, Dr. Davis, Nurse Corinne, and Nurse Lorie were all so very good to us throughout the procedure keeping us constantly updated. Tilly was taken back at 9:55 a.m. She was put under and Dr. Bussey began the surgical procedure about 10:40 a.m. He was back in our room by 11:15 a.m. to update David and me. The surgery was successful in that he was able to remove all of the cyst from her body. In the process, he did have to remove her right ovary and the fallopian tube because they were too far damaged to be repaired. We are thankful that she has two ovaries and are praying for the good health for the left one. The left ovary does have a small cyst (pea sized) inside of it, so it was not removed today. We will go back in 6 months for another ultrasound to check its progress. Tilly did remarkably well in recovery and was back in the room with us before noon. She has been a wonderful patient, so calm and not fussy. Mostly, she has been sleeping. Thank you to all of you who have been praying for our precious little one today. Please continue to pray for her recovery that she would have little pain and that there would be no infection. Pray that the cyst does not have any suspicious tissue as it is being tested. Pray that her left ovary would remain healthy and that the cyst currently there would resolve itself. We are so thankful for this precious girl. Words cannot even express how in awe of her I am. She was such a good patient today. Below are some pictures of this precious one.

Love the play-by-play with the pictures! She was such a trooper. So proud of her!! Get some rest.
David and Heather, we are friends of Cari and Cory's and have been praying for you guys along with sweet Tilly today. I'm so grateful that her surgery went well and have already lifted the mentioned request up in prayer. I know God has a plan for precious Tilly and that He'll continue to prove himself faithful through this process for you guys. Her Aunt Cari has done well recruiting prayer partners throughout this day for her and both of you. We will continue to pray as I know Cari will keep us updated. God bless you all and may you all get a good nights rest! As a mother of 3 myself, I know how medicinal rest itself can be!!!

Heather, I'm so glad Tilly came through the surgery well! You all are still in my prayers!
Hey girl- Yes, I am praying- I did not realize there is a cyst on the left ovary as well- I will pray that it is gone when you return for the next appt. I am glad that Tilly has done well- Don't they look precious in their gowns! I remember that when Tyler got tubes in his ears- You all are loved and prayed for- MK
