Laura is in the hospital in Lawton, OK. She is there to have her entire colon removed. For those who don't know she has had a problem for a very long time. Her bowel movements were on a 10 day to 2 week cycle. Not Healthy.
The problem is that her colon does not work. The doctors say it does not move. So they are going to take the entire thing out. They will leave a few inches that goes to the rectum and then will attach the small intestine to that. For a while she will have four or five bowel movements per day until they can control it down to one or two.
The surgery will be tomorrow but I do not know what time as of yet. she will then be in the hospital for 6 to 8 days after surgery. The surgery will be 3 to 4 hours in length.
As I know more I will post it here.
