We didn't get much new news yesterday. He told us there is a hole there still (I could have told him that). Since there was stuff coming out of it for so long it has healed kind of like an ear ring hole and he doesn't think it will ever heal on its own. He now has a better idea where the hole is situated. He is pretty positive that it is at the very top of my j-pouch (that's the part they made to act like a makeshift colon out of small intestine). The plan is to go in and cut out the hole and sew it back shut. He is hoping to do it without messing up the pouch. He also said if things go smoothly he could do the reversal at the same time. We decided we would be more comfortable doing it on two steps and he agreed it would probably heal a lot better if stool was not going through there. He is going to bring me up in their conference they have every Monday with all the docs so he told us to give him two weeks to decide exactly what to do. He is also leaving town for a couple of weeks so i am sure he will be a little backed up when he gets back. So maybe late March or early April.
