Part III finished - waiting for him to come out

Dr. Lau came out about 10 minutes ago and advised that the stoma revision went well. He basically shortened his colon by removing the problem area, then created a new stoma. He kept everything in the same location and also tried to keep the stoma size the same. He feels confident that he has taken care of the stricture (tightness) and that we should no longer have to dilate. This, in and of itself, would be a huge answer to our prayers.

Jacob should be coming out of the OR in the next few minutes and be moved to the recovery area. He will likely stay in the PICU (Ped Intensive Care Unit) tonight for better pain management and may remain sedated as well.

We will update everyone again once Jacob is in the recovery room.

Rejoice in the Lord always - again I say, rejoice.
