Time for Surgery
The day has finally arrived! Gram is going in for surgery tomorrow to have her ileostomy reversed. It has been a long time coming. She has finally stayed healthy long enough for things to heal. She is excited and nervous at the same time. We have to be there tomorrow morning at 5:30. Early morning for me!
If all goes well,and I pray that it does,she should only be in the hospital 5-7 days. If they have to cut her open again instead of going through the stoma it will be a longer stay/recovery. So please pray that everything goes well for her. The woman has gone through enough and it just needs to stop.
I hope that the surgery doesn't set her too far back. She has been doing so well since she got out of the hospital the last time. Her appetite has come back and she has been using her cane instead of her walker. Her kidneys have been behaving,too. The dr said that it wasn't going to be as complicated a surgery as her last one was. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed....Labels: family
