Thanks to those who replied to my previous message, via postings and email. Wanted you to know my daughter is finally pain free (for now). The ovarian cyst burst, abdominal pain went away. She did have other complications, a partially collapsed lung and pneumonia from being bedridden and on narcotics for so long. Had to wean her off the narcotics to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Adhesions will still be a problem for her in the future, however, since they are still present in her abdomen. I know surgery will be in her future again at some point, either for the adhesions or because of the Crohns Disease. Unfortunately, laproscopy is not an option for her, the doctors feel there is so much scar tissue they'd never get a scope in. I just pray she has some pain free months ahead. She's been through so much at such a young age.

Thanks for your support. I"ll be checking in from time to time :)
