It's taking a while, but all in God's time. Leslie was finally cleared for surgery. She had her gall bladder successfully removed & she is doing well. What we thought was a simple case of gastric or duodenal ulcers turned out to be a case of multiple gallstones, caused most probably by her recent pregnancy. A not so routine ultrasound revealed gallstones, & prior to her surgery a not so routine liver enzyme analysis revealed severe hepatic inflammation. Our doctors have not yet decided whether it was drug-induced or an extension of her inflamed gall bladder. The good thing about the liver is that it has a great capacity to heal itself. All's well that ends well. It has been a difficult past couple of months, taking care of my 3 babies. I have tried the best I can, but I am only human. Our baby sitter has been a God-send & my sister & Leslie's cousins have helped out more than I can thank them. A few minutes to just lie down, check my mail, or play a video game undisturbed goes a long way. This week our visa may come out & with everyone staying healthy it may finally be time to go. I'm glad things have fallen into their proper places, I even got to attend my best friend's wedding. It finally feels like things are going our way.
