So we have had a few little set backs, but thank goodness we got through the last two weeks. Korb has relized that jumping up and down and bending over are still a little diffcult. We leave tomorrow morning to head to milwaukee. I am VERY excited to learn how to use the button. I just conintue to pray that this will help korbin.
A question that everyone has been asking is how long will he have the button, well thats not such an easy answer. In a year we will go back up and he will have another motillity study done ( where they place the sensors in his colon) and see if the button has helped stimulate his nerves in his colon. If not, then they will begin removing sections of his colon and pasting them where they need to go so korbin can use his colon. He did say korbin may have horrible tummy aches but it will be because this is the first time that he is feeling his colon work and he may not know how to respond. I just got off the phone with the head nurse she was just checking to see how he was doing. They truly are amazing people there!
