Leigh surgery a success!
Praise God! Leigh made it through her gall bladder surgery successfully! She’s sore and very tired, but it was definately a good thing for it to be removed as it was definately not working correctly poised to inflict more pain. Thank you Tori for being with her throughout the day and supporting her in this! Thanks Loren & Dora for dinner and prayer! Thanks everyone else for your prayers and thoughts!
The surgeon had to make a few more cuts than originally anticipated as the gall bladder was enlarged and plugged. The fluid inside was completely clear, so it had obviously not been working for it’s intended purpose for some time. There were many stones inside and one was plugging the entrance, ready to move down the tube and be a big pain…literally. We’re very glad for the timing and for the expertise of the doctors and technicians that cared for her at Northwest Hospital where the procedure took place.
She arrived at the hospital at 10:30 and the operation was complete by 2:45 and she was awake and in recovery at that time. Due to some back pain, some additional pain-killers were proscribed, causing some drowsiness and extending her hospital time a bit. However, Tori was able to bring her home at 8pm and she’s now resting fairly comfortably in bed for the night.
Thanks again for your prayers and support!
Living with Crohns
Posted by Kevin Tucker in Leigh, Prayer on July 5, 2007
Leigh has been (almost) officially diagosed with Crohns disease, a GI tract immune disorder where her immune system in the small intestine is attacking her body instead of just the bad bacteria.? She has lost a lot of weight (which she isn’t too sad about), but it’s on the verge of being too much.? She’s started some medication just today to see if it will work to get this problem into remission within a couple of months.
Please keep her in your prayers!
Prayers

Some prayers on my heart right now…
? 1. Leigh is going to be getting a CT scan tomorrow to really start looking into why she is having so much trouble with her stomach and back.? She has not had much appetite for quite and while and has lost a lot of weight.? She’s happy about that last part, but it hasn’t been a fun way to do it…
2. My family.? That each of the kids is getting the opportunities they need to grow healthy, strong and wise.? That they can become the leaders in the areas that God has gifted them with, and that they learn to love the Lord and others.
3. Fairview.? The school is in a real spiritual battle right now.? We are one of the very last holdouts for Protestant Christianity within the Seattle City limits as far as education goes.? There are various issues, but the main thing is that we are not seeing the enrollment we expect and are thus having to cut back services, making enrollment less likely, etc.? A cycle going in the wrong direction.? I believe that God wants Fairview to be here and to accomplish His ministry.? I pray that everyone involved is seeking His will.
4. How can the church be helping each other and others better?? That is a question I’ve been asking myself for a long time and I am praying that God provides a great opportunity.
There are,? of course, many, many more, but those are my top concerns right now. I’d love it if you partnered with me in prayer!
Kevin
