So, results are in! The good thing...yes finally something good.....there is much more small intestine attached to the mucus fistula than last reported. This can one day be attached to the rest of the bowel to help for absorption of nutrients.
Bad news...of course, there is no continuity from the small intestine to the large intestine. This means there is some sort of blockage still and we are waiting to find out how to treat this.
We will meet with the gastoenterologists tomorrow and get their take on it. The blockage could be more mucus or even adhesions and scar tissue, at this point we do not know. Mucus can probably be "pushed out" with irrigation and mucomyst but if it's scar tissue it will be removed surgically when they resection him.
Eric, Merry and Kaleigh get in town tonight. We are very excited to see our baby girl. Jace can hardly wait. Today is Eric's Birthday, Nick's was Saturday and Vicky graduated from Law School this weekend. The Eggebrecht clan is a busy group!!!
Still haven't downloaded those adorable pictures.....Here's one from a few weeks ago! He was a sleepy boy during this photo shoot!
