We had a restless night last night. He was in lots of pain. They finally got his pain under control this afternoon and removed the catheter where he can now get up and go to the bathroom. He walked two times around the floor. His color is good. We are trusting that there will be no infection or fistulas. Help us pray to that end.
We are grateful.

It's been a long journey
I have failed to update his blog of late there has been so much going on.
After having 4 procedures to close the fistula, he came to St. Luke's for a second opinion. The surgeon here gave it a few days to close, and then scheduled surgery for today. It took about 6 hours. The old mesh they had put in had grown into the small intestine. They re-sectioned the small intestine and the dr feels like everything will be okay barring any complications. Of course if you have been following our journey the past 101/2 months. you know that is what it has been about, complications; fistulas, abscesses, infections, etc.
We are believing all will be well. We are at the medical center. He is in room 1518.
God's blessing to you and yours. The dr said he should be here 7-10 days.
