Update On "K"

We just got the best update on "K"! She got home yesterday the surgery went perfectly so perfectly in fact the Dr.'s were able create a J Pouch. This type of ostomy does not require an external stoma and bag and only certain people are candidates for it. An internal pouch is constructed from the rectum allowing waste products to gather there before being expelled in the normal manner although bowel movements will probably be more frequent and watery than usual.

God is good!! This is wonderful and unexpected news!! This also means she will be returning to school after spring break!! her first day back will be March 31rst!! I was so happy to get this news!! Steph and I sprang tears of Joy!!

    Wow that is fantastic news! I'd put up with watery frequent stools to be able to not have an external bag any day. I was feeling sad for her, because I knew how self-consious I was at that age. So so glad she's doing well, and WOW a much quicker recovery!!! ;) YAY!
