Korbin is doing well. Has had a very big day they placed a tube down his nose to his stomach to force golyte into the bowls to force out the poop
He has truly been a trooper! In the morning they will scope him from both ends and do biopsy's and then place a sensor in his rectum and monitor that for 5 hrs those 5 hrs he will not be able to get out of bed.

Its been a busy morning already. Korbin has been up since 4:30AM! He  got really quiet a little while ago so I went looking for him.  He is my favorite lil stinker! He dumped the whole suitcase out and was "hiding" in the suitcase. If he could have figured out how to zip it to really hide from mommy, he would have. :)
He told me a story this morning about a king and his castle. He has never been able to tell me a story I was very excited for him to tell me.  He knows we leave for Milwaukee tomorrow, he asked if we could take the airplane, I told him no mommys suitcase is to big.. he says.. " oh i see" LOL  cracks me up.. he is really focused today!!! :)  Please say a lil prayer today for mommys nervous.. my stomach has been in quite the knots this morning.. Then pray for korb has he has no idea as to what his little body is going to go through.  We serve a Mighty God!

Its been a rough week for Korbin, his bowls are so full he has been throwing up.  I am ready for this trip, nervous, but I am ready for Korb to feel better.  He has a new passion this week, his "tent" he spends ALOT of time in there this week. Very comforting for him.  Please pray for Korb that his nervous will be calm as he meets the doc and as they place the tube down his nose, he will not be put to sleep for this part of it.  Also the dr called yesterday and they have decided to do one more test on Tuesday morning, where they will place a sensor tube ( he will be put to sleep for this part) in Korbin and watch it for 5 hours, ( will slowly wake up for this part) they will have him eat a high fat diet and watch the sensors. pray for comfort for him.  I will keep you posted as I know more! thank you so much for your love and prayers!

Korbins Surgery is Feb 7 2011

So I have decided to use this some what as a blog for korbins care for the next few months.
Korbin will have  surgery in  Feb 7 2011 in  Milwaukee Wi  at the Childrens hospital.
  He will be having a Cecostomy Placement and Antegrade Enemas.
This site explains what Cecostomy  Placement is
http://www.cecostomy.com/Introduction/cecostomy.htm
Antegrade Enema operation (ACE)
The antegrade continence enema or ACE operation is used to wash out the colon. An opening to the colon is made in the abdomen through which the enema or wash can be administered.

They process of this will take 3 days to finsh.. Where he will be in hospital for about 7 days. As I get more informaiton I will fill you in on it.
Long term goal is for him to be able to have nerve feeling in his rectum again.
