We just got a call from OR. They have closed on Seth and said the the doctor was on his way up to talk with us. I turned around and there he was. We all 3 went into the conference room.
Dr. Shilyanski told us that Seth was fine. He could breathe on his own but they couldn't get him to wake up so they are leaving the breathing tube in for now. they will keep him in OR until he is somewhat conscience and then take him to recovery.
They found a considerable amount of scar tissue in there and the intesting had loooped itself around and then around again and was laying on the pelvis. That is what had caused Seth so much pain. the dr. said he was probably uncomfortable all the time and just didn't tell us. We only knew it when he was in ALOT of pain. There are no guarentees that this won't happen again, so please pray right now that the intestine will NO LOOP. If it does, it will mean another surgery! Dr. Shilyanski said if he had known this before Seth would have been in surgery then.
Peoria didn't give a good report after Seth's visit to ER.
They had to make a large opening and did some reworking where the Ostomy was. (VERY HIGH RISK of infections in this area.) It is considered a contaminated area due to the output of the Ostomy (bowel). He will have a consideratble amount of scarring now, but will shink with time.
Dr. Shilyanski said they manipulated the intestine alot and will slow down the recovery some.
I will sign off for now and wait for them to come and get us. We'll let you know something when we know it. He has an uphill battle from here.
