Goodness that was a “quick trip” to Milwaukee.
This last week Korbins stoma ( the place that they made for him to have the ostomy bag) has been bleeding. He has had a very low fever of 99.9 I took him to Burlington Hospital but they wouldn’t treat him they told me to contact Milwaukee ( which I am very upset about). Luckily we already had an appt for a follow up from surgery. So we seen Dr. Calkins on Thursday, he is such an amazing surgeon! He walks in and says “ hey korbie doodle how ya doing bubba” He is sooooo personable!! Just really blessed to have him as our surgeon! They did a quick “surgery” right in the office; they removed a layer of skin because korbins poop was eating way the good skin. Then they put a barrier on it, hopefully we caught it before infection set in. Dr. Calkins said that Korb is recovering very well for everything his lil body has been through. So our next trip will be February 6, he will go in for major testing to see if his “new” colon is going to work. IF it works and no leakage then Korb will have surgery on February 7 and they will reverse the stoma and he will no longer have the bag!! Yes we will still have to worry about bad bacterial infection for about another month, because Korbin was exposed to so much bacteria when it leaked the first time. But Dr. Calkins said” Korbin is a real fighter and I don’t see that happening”! J
On the way home tonight, we stopped in Monmouth and seen my brother, Korb got to have a little tractor ride, man he was soooooooooo excited! Thanks Uncle Cheesey you the best!! J
Korbin will get to start back to school this week doing half days! “YEAH!!!!!!! He is ready to be back with his lil classmates he missed them so much!
Well I better get him tucked in for the night, he has had a very long snowy day! Thanks again for your support, love and prayers!
