Surgery

Today is Tuesday...Adam has been in the hospital since Thursday. He had the drain in for a few days with no improvements...so we opted for surgery. Dr. P was going to try and do it laproscopically...but once he got in there he realized he couldn't do it safely. The adhesion formed a band around the small intestine. He also removed a few other adhesions that looked like they could possibly pose a problem. Adam was in a great deal of pain after surgery. It took a few hours to get him comfortable. He is on Deladid and Toradol. They offered an epidhural this morning..but he hasn't needed it. He has already gotten up to walk, had a sponge bath, and freshened up. Once things start moving he can start eating again.


This is the miserable drain.


This is what is at the end of the miserable drain.


This is Adam just a few hours after surgery!
