Surgery

We got woke up early at 6:00am and went to pre-op holding.  Tanner did not want to get up or go in a wheel chair to the operating room.  The nurses were great.  Surgery started at 730 am and he was in recovery around 1230pm.  Everything went well in the operating room.  They did all of the things they planned the scar on the right side of his bell looks better already, the repair on the Malone went well and should not be having leakage out of it any longer (no more bag) YEAH.  The biggest part of the surgery was the sigmoid bowel resection the took a foot and a half of the colon and re-attached both ends.  It looks great. There is a another bigger scar, but they did all the work through that 1 new scar.   Tanner DID NOT CODE the entire time, praise God.  We are back in our room resting well the the push button pain management.  He is pretty swollen in the face, that should go down soon.  No food or drink for another 3 days. That is a total of 5 days no food.  He is upset over that, but I will make it all up to him when he is better.

Praise God, everything went well!
