One surgery scheduled, one to go.

First off, heres the latest babe. You know the drill, check her out here.


I met with Jax surgeon today. He was a little concerned about doing a cecostomy because he thinks that he won't pass stuff even with it. He said it might be like putting a flush in a floppy balloon. But there is nothing else to do and I can't keep giving suppositories daily. There is a simple surgery to try.
The first one is were they take the appendix and bring it to the surface and make a stoma, through that you can put suppositories and flushes. This is a bigger surgery. It would be a big scar. The one he wants to try is laproscopic, he uses a radiologists help, he pulls the bowell to the side of the abdomen, and the radiologist will "spear" it and insert a button similar to a g-tube. The reason for this one is if it doesn't work all you have to do is pull it out. Here is a picture of the tube. It is so low that it is almost flush with the body.
Here is a pic of what it looks like inside. I guess there is no balloon, but look how flat is sits against the abdomen.

We originally scheduled for June 5th. But that day we have tickets to the air show with Hope Kids. Mondo is dying to go to that. He loves everything military. Plus his birthday is that weekend. I cannot do that to him. He always gets the short end of the stick when Jax is in the hospital, and it always seems that something happens to Jax when we were supposed to do something with him. So I told her sorry but it would have to be another day. So tommorrow she will call me with a date. He will stay in the hospital for a couple of days, depending on how well he extubates. With his nissen he extubated in 4 hours so I think he'll do well. Now if we could only get Boston to call...
