Post surgery update - Praise

Jacob went back for surgery, with Daddy, at around 7:40 this morning. The surgery began just before 8:30 and Dr. Lau came out at around 9:00 to advise that he was finished. We were pleasantly surprised that he was able to finish so quickly, but definitely thankful. He advised that he was able to simply move Jacob's bowel/colon and attach it to his abdominal wall rather than having to place mesh or anything like that in there. He feels like this will prevent his stoma from prolapsing or at least keep it to where if it does, it will only come out a little. Jacob stayed in recovery for about an hour and now has been brought back to his room. The plans for now are to keep him in the hospital for a couple of days. The Lord graciously helped keep Jacob fairly calm throughout the entire process. He will be receiving paid meds, probably continuously, for the next 24 hours or so. Unless there are complications, Dr. Lau feels like we should be able to go home shortly after he is released from the hospital.

Thank you for your continued prayers and remember - Pray to the Lord and Praise His Holy Name.
