As many of you know, my 3-yr. old niece Kira has had a number of medical issues since she was born. Last week, the poor little girl had even more issues come up. Over the past week, Kira was having a lot of stomach pain and was not eating or drinking and if she did, it was extremely painful for her. My sister took her in to the hospital and some labs that they took determined her liver pain was extremely high, so she was admitted. She had an abdominal ultrasound and MRI and they found out that Kira has a Choledochal Cysts. You can click on Choledochal Cysts to read more about them. Anyways, it only occurs in 1 out of 100,000 little kids.
On Thursday, Kira will be having surgery to remove the cyst, remove her gall bladder, repair a hernia, place a g-tube and a more permanant line. Please pray that her surgery goes well and that she can heal quickly. This little girl has been through so much already and now this. She's a tough one!!
