Well it’s day 12 in the hospital. Not a lot changed over the weekend…. Korbin was able to drink some water and apple juice ; and was able to keep it down. Dr. Lal said that Korbins colon is still very much asleep and its going to take time. We can’t leave hospital until he is able to eat, keep it down and poop. Dr. Lal also shared that Korbins colon is like someone who has the most horrible flu you can imagine, and we have to be very patient and really careful of dehydration and infection, since there was so much poop exposed to his belly. This morning the nurse specialist walked me through how to change his ostomy bag, I was a little nervous but it wasn’t that bad. This is just a slow process that I am going to have to get use to… The very earliest we will be home is 2 weeks… The surgeons expressed this morning in rounds; that the earliest Korbin may be able to leave the hospital is Friday, then we will have to stay at Ronald McDonald for a week. I guess I rather be safe than sorry… Especially after having the scare and emergency surgery last week.
