We are finished with our marathon of 7 pre-op appointments...yea! We've been here since 9:00 and momma is hungry, so this will be short and sweet.
Everything is set for surgery tomorrow. Alex got a brand new tattoo to mark where his ostomy will be placed, we met with the ostomy nurse, surgeon, internal med, cardiology and surgeon's nurses. All of our millions of questions were answered and we are feeling well informed, but a bit overwhelmed. We arrive for surgery at 10am with surgery scheduled for around noon. The procedures will include removal of diseased part of colon, temporary ostomy placement, removal of any mesh necessary, removal of any small bowel attached to mesh, and replacement of mesh with more biologic material (less likely to become infected). The surgery will last anywhere from 2-8 hours with the goal being as little small bowel loss as possible. Thank you again for all the prayers and we will update more tomorrow. Love to you all!
