's Son

[Guest guest]

My son had an operation this past Sunday to close the ostomy? and it

went well. They were supposed to close just one of the ostomy's but

then decided to close both (one was for the blockeage and the other

for the " diverticulum " ). The decision to close both was because of

fear of damaging the intestine's main blood vessel in another

operation.

There was a concern that, perhaps, the blood vessel wouldn't be

supplying enough blood to make the intestines workable. However, the

baby already had 5 bowel movements (4 yesterday and 1 today), which

are a strong sign that there is no problem.

From what I understood, the intestine's main blood vessel

sends/spreads a lot of smaller veins to supply the intestine with

blood. In our case, the main doesn't do that.

,

Sorry if you already told us, but what is your son's name? Is he

still in intensive care? Poor little guy.
