Unexpected Complications!!

On May 6th I had to have part of my tailbone removed. After 3 fractures over 15 years it would just not heal. The surgery went fairly well, just alot of pain. I went to a post-op appointment on Friday May 22nd. I was feeling alot worse and in alot of pain. I ended up going septic by about 10:00 that night and had to be Life Flighted to LDS Hospital in Salt Lake.(MY first helicopter ride and I don't remember a thing about it!!) After about 18 hours in the ICU, they were able to move me to the intermediate care floor. They found that I had an abcess by the surgical site. They ent in and drained the abcess. It was only filled with blood, not pus like they had thought. If it had been that, they were going to put a drain in and leave it for 10-14 days. It is feeling so much better and I was able to leave alot faster than the Dr.'s had thought I would. THankfully I am doing so much better and am actually going to leave for Girls' State on Sun. morning. I know that the reason I was able to heal so fast was because Lane was able to give me a blessing before I left on Life Flight. I am so thankful for the Priesthood in our home. Lane is such a strenth to me, So is my Parents. I was so suprised when Jeff and Heather came to see me Sat. afternoon, then Krista and Lance drove almost 4 hours one way to see me. My mom and dad came down, then Aunt Tiana, Brock, Brandon and Lizzie also came. It is so nice to have such an out pouring of love and support at this time. Thanks!!!
