On September 6, 2007 Missy's right ovary experienced a cyst rupture which injured an adjacent blood vessel. Over 200 cc's of blood poured into the surrounding abdominal cavity resulting in a severe amount of pain. The emergency room staff at Mississippi Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi was marvelous in their triage and treatment. The right ovary was removed via laparoscopic manipulation by Dr. Crews during a 2.5 hour operation. The surgery was complicated by the presence of numerous adhesions from previous surgeries. Missy continues to recover from the surgery and the general anesthesia, which has produced severe nausea. She is expected to recover fully. I wish to offer special thanks to my mom and dad for helping with the kids and simply being present.
