monday update

Scott is still in the hospital. We are hoping to come home MAYBE sometime this week. He will leave the hospital with Home Health and IV antibiotics for about a month. His spirits are up as long as his pain is under control. He has a Wound Vac this time, so hopefully that will cut the healing time in half. We are keeping our fingers crossed!

When the surgeon (who we LOVE) operated, he found some of his J Pouch still in him. They think that, that was the source of most of Scott's problems with infection/abscesses etc. The surgeon pretty much cut EVERYTHING he could out without damaging his muscle or nerves. Because of the size of the wound, he has a long road ahead of him, but we are praying that this will be the end of his problems and he can finally enjoy life without Crohn's/Jpouch and everything that goes along with that. His ostomy continues to do well..PRAISE GOD!! He wishes that he had of done that ten years ago. I guess hind-sight's twenty twenty!

Thanks to everyone who has called/emailed/visited etc. It means a lot. I will update again when I have the chance.
