We are still waiting on everyone to get the correct information. I think home health has everything they need but the company who supplies the wound vac is still missing something. We are hopeing all is in place by tomorrow but the said they would come out Sunday if needed....merry Christmas!

Things went really well. He was able to get the plug out. There is a small chance he cut some of my intestine but all is good so far. I was left with a hole a little larger than a quarter and about an inch deep. Home health is going to come out and put a wound vac on it tomorrow. It will put a little suction on it and help it heal a little faster as well as keep it cleaner. The pain hasn't been bad at all. I took some pain med before i went to bed last night but i don't feel much different then when i got a drain check.

Surgery set for the 21st. I will go home that night and all they are doing is taking the piece of plug out.

Saw the radiologist already and we are killing time before we have to go see the surgeon. It is looking like the hole in my intestine is closed and the drainage i am getting is from the remnants of the plug causing an infection. The only way to get that out is to operate so we will see what safar wants to do.

Still feeling good. I go see the radiologist and surgeon next Wednesday. There is a chance we may try the plug again but it probably be after the first the year.

Still Good

I'm still feeling good. Drew has a friend from his church in Columbia who's granddaughter has been through a lot of the same things. The difference is she is 1. Right now she has an infection and they had to put her in a drug induced coma. They were going to pull her out of it today but her oxygen levels weren't high enough. Please pray for this special little girl and her family.

So this is what is feels like to feel good

After being out of the hospital for over a week now I am still feeling good. The wound I have had on my belly since April is finally healing to the point I just change the bandage once a day to keep the tape from getting too sticky and I think this is the longest I have gone without a tube or antibiotics in a long time. I will go back and see the doc at the end of October but I don't think he will have anything to do. We have decided to stay with the same surgon even though he messed up to avoid more confussion over my case. We are hopeful that I will be able to have my final surgery by the end of December
