Kellie's health issues continue...

People were wanting to know an update on Kellie... so this is what we know so far (as of today).

The OB/GYN has decided that he does need to go in and do surgery. (For what he believes is Endometriosis). However, he wants Kellie to be seen by a Gastroenterologist first as he believes there is more to her health issues than just the endometroisis. When he gets the clearance from the Gastroenterologist that all is well on his end, he will set up surgery for Kellie. However, if they do find another issue, they will work together (both doctors) to schedule surgery at the same time. Because of blood reports coming back, they believe there could be a kidney problem or intestinal problem.
When Alex talked with the OB/GYN today, the doctor was very good with explaining everything to Alex. The doctor does not want to go in and then be unprepared on what he may find. He did warn them that he does not expect this to be an easy surgery, which will mean that Kellie may not be able to attend school next semester, and graduation will be moved to December instead of July.
(They do not have an opening for Kellie to be seen until April 14th, unless there is a cancellation) but at least they know that doctor's are moving forward. Kellie had a really bad weekend again and missed classes again today, and just really wants to get back to normal. This has been going on since October and they would really like to know what "Normal" marriage life is like. (like there is such a thing).
We will keep you posted on the latest as we hear. Until then, thank you for keeping her (and Alex) in your prayers. We (and they) appreciate it!
