Subject: Update re 17 year old daughter
> Thanks to those who replied to my previous message, via postings and
> email. Wanted you to know my daughter is finally pain free (for now).
> The ovarian cyst burst, abdominal pain went away. She did have other
> complications, a partially collapsed lung and pneumonia from being
> bedridden and on narcotics for so long. Had to wean her off the
> narcotics to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Adhesions will still be a
> problem for her in the future, however, since they are still present in
> her abdomen. I know surgery will be in her future again at some point,
> either for the adhesions or because of the Crohns Disease.
> Unfortunately, laproscopy is not an option for her, the doctors feel
> there is so much scar tissue they'd never get a scope in. I just pray
> she has some pain free months ahead. She's been through so much at such
> a young age.

> Thanks for your support. I"ll be checking in from time to time :)
