Mom's surgery
Mom entered the hospital this morning and had her surgery already. It took about 90 minutes to complete the surgery. The doctor said that she probably "popped" a stitch sometime ago and thus allowed her colon to have a place to go. He said about 4" of her colon and made it's way behind the mess and that was causing her problems. He is now concerned that he might have made the mess too tight around the opening and this could restrict her urine output, so they are keeping her until she can fill her bag on her own. He put a catheter in to keep it open until the swelling goes down. I don't have a room number yet as she is still in recovery and will be there until she wakes up - and for those of you who know our family that could be days from now!!!
