Vicki Lynn Guzowski: January 2011

Wishing my sister Diane and daughter-in-law Jodie a better week ahead. Diane's surgery on the 24th was fourteen hours long. She's home now and I'm very proud on how she's handling recovery. She had a mastecomy, breast reconstruction using skin and fatty tissue from her abdomen, and a lymph node transplant. She sure had alot of slicing and dicing!!!

Jodie delivered Makayla Alexis on January 18th. Makayla was 6lb 6oz, 20 inches long, and born at 4:45am. She's a beautiful tiny little thing. She's so sweet natured and good too! I think Jodie may have been in an ulcerative flare because she had a very difficult time after delivery. She was taken to surgery the following night and had internal and external hemorrhoids excised and lazered. I think the doctor drain and repaired a few fistulas. Jodie was back in the hospital Saturday and needed a catherization. She's so uncomfortable and in so much pain. She goes back on Monday to see if it's okay to take the cath out.
