Let's just say you would totally gross out if I had pictures of all the fun surgery's J has had.
BUMMER...just kidding.
This last surgery is another gamble, we have our fingers crossed. Literally.
What they did:
They fixed "it" again. The Surgeon couldn't believe how long it held on, but we all know J was in the hands of our Heavenly Father the 3 weeks we were waiting for surgery or else it might have turned out like a December visit or worse.
It was a long wait on Monday, and J was a trooper. He did awesome. They gave him some liquid to see if that would doze him up, it didn't. So they gave him a good ole shot in the arm and sandman came in. We changed him into his surgery clothes and kissed him good bye as they wheeled him in. We were told that the surgeon held his hands until he was completely under and then began the surgery. I do believe this particular doctor loves our son!
They decided for whatever reason that the pigs skin wasn't the answer so they anchored it with mesh. (another surgeon did this while our original surgeon redid his illeostomy)
J didn't have any problems with oxygen. We just had some trouble getting the nausea medicine and pain medicine adjusted just right...That took a couple of days. Thursday he was allowed to slowly eat "normal" food, except I think we over did it and J threw it all up. The doctor told us we knew what to do and as long as we were slow with giving J food he could go home.
A 5 day stay isn't to bad.
Things we get to look for:
BIG INFECTION possibility with the mesh.
AWESOME!
We are just going to keep our fingers crossed!
