Surgery update

(Original appeared May 23, 2016)

Surgery was successful. The doctor found a small tear near his colon and sewed it up. There will be a follow up surgery later this week. The thought is that today’s surgery may relieve some of the pressure inside, which could help kidney function, so that fluid retention will drop. It’s quite a process but for now we are very relieved. We are waiting for the all clear to go visit Jacob, so more updates are likely.
Thank you all for the kinds words and prayers. They mean more than you know.
