Story
The short of it is…Ter had a freak accident where she tripped into our metal bed frame and managed to get a 1” laceration on the inside of her mouth. For multiple reasons I was worried and called for an ambulance. We thought we would get checked for a concussion and get some stitches and head home. Little did we know that was just the beginning. After a few hours and multiple tests later we found there was something much worse going on inside which prompted us a ride to the trauma center for emergency surgery. For unknown reasons her bladder spontaneously ruptured causing her urine to spill into her abdominal cavity. As a result of this she was going into sepsis. Surgery was necessary to save her life. She went in for surgery and a few hours later came out and was stable. 🙏🏻 She has a long road of recovery ahead of her. She is on lots of meds to help prevent infection and help with the pain. She will be on limited duty and bed rest for the next couple weeks. We are now home and she has a Foley Catheter. She has to have the catheter for at least the next 10 days when we go for a follow up CT to check for any leaks. If no leaks, they will remove the catheter and see if she can go on her own. If not they will need to reinsert the catheter and follow up with urology. If there are leaks she will go back in for a second surgery to repair any additional holes. We are limiting visitors but are welcome to them a various intervals depending on her recovery. Please continue to pray and send healing vibes for her. We love you all and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued love and support 🤍 - The Millers
