I really hope everything went OK yesterday.  So sorry you're having to deal with so many surgeries for the same problem!  I really hope this is the end of it for you.

Keeping young Betsy and mom and dad in prayer for a successful surgery. Third time's a charm!
She sounds like a very strong young woman.
Let us know how things turn out.
