Poor Krista!

Just a quick post to update everyone on Krista's condition. For those who say "what condition" I say here's the Reader's Digest version.
Krista had severe stomach/lower abdomen cramps on Monday. It was to the point that she couldn't stand or walk and she was in tears, so off to the ER we go. After blood work, an ultrasound and a cat scan they were no closer to a prognosis. She had an elevated white blood cell count, but her appendix was ok, and the two ovarian cysts were up to 4cm but really not big enough to cause this amount of pain. She had a follow up visit the next day and they scheduled the surgery for today (03/25). The surgery was initially a laparoscopy with a possible oophorectomy, or a possible hysterectomy; depending on what they found. Krista went in around 1pm and was in recovery by 4pm. The doctor said that they went ahead with a full hysterectomy after finding an "extreme" case of endometriosis. The ovary was tucked in behind the uterus and was "stuck" to the large intestine and aggravating the outer lining of the stomach, causing some fluid to leak, which explained the elevated white blood cell count and the pain.
Tonight Krista is resting somewhat comfortably at the Billings Clinic 1-800-332-7156 (room 206) and it is likely that she will be there until Saturday.
