Melissa had surgery this morning, lasting less than an hour. Everything went well. The surgeon is cautiously opptunistic, but will not say it is a success for several days given Melissa's history. They say she will be in hospital 4-5 days. She would really like to be home by the weekend. The leak she had from the contrast was right at the staple they had put in last December to close the stoma so it was not a problem. Thank you God!!!!!!
