Complications
Please pray. I've had some complications since my oral surgery on the 7th. On the 11th I developed an infection on the roof of my mouth which is where the surgeon took a large piece of tissue to graft in another area. The infection has eaten away at the tissue exposing the bone on the roof of my mouth and leaving me in a tremendous amount of pain and unable to eat or drink a whole lot. Today (Sunday) I went in for an emergency visit with the surgeon and she has scheduled me to go in tomorrow morning to have blood drawn. She is concerned that I am not healing even though I've been on antibiotics for a week. She will be taking blood to try a procedure that they use in extreme cases. They will use my cells to create a membrane to place over my wound and try to jump start healing. Please pray that this works! Please pray for healing, reduction in pain and for me to be able to get enough nutrition. Tonii left today and will be traveling for business for the next two weeks, so please pray for strength both emotional and physical for me. My mother-in-law is here with me tonight. I am so blessed to have family close by.
