Prayer Request

Please pray for my cousin Kristin. She had her gaul bladder removed a few years ago and has had problems on and off ever since. She went to the emergency room Saturday with terrible stomach pains and they discovered a gaul stone in the tubes that were connected to her gaul bladder. They admitted her to the hospital and on Monday she had a surgery to remove the gaul stone. On Wednesday they discovered that she has pancreatitis (spelling) and also that they punctured her bowels during the first operation. She underwent emergency surgery yesterday afternoon to repair the tear in her bowel but when they opened her up they were upable to find the tear. The doctor said that the hole might have closed up on its own. She is in the icu right now and my mom and aunt lori and aunt vicki went down to be with her. They will be doing more testing today to make sure no more fluids are seeping out into her body!! Please pray that they get everything fixed quickly and that she has a speedy recovery!!

Oh that's terrible!! Frogs are so gross!! Kristin is doing better..she is still in the hospital but she is out of icu. Her pancreatitis is gone but now they think they may be getting pnemonia.
