obstructed

11:25 pm Things took another turn, and now x-rays reveal Diego has another bowel obstruction. We are awaiting to hear from surgeons for next steps. I’m really hoping and praying for a miracle that Diego will reverse himself and make it through this without surgical intervention.

Morning update: I am so conerned about surgery because if he does need a 4th abdominal surgery this year, he will likely have to deal with long term health issues as a result. If his chance of obstruction was 30% before, I can only imagine that it will go up from there.

But looking online, there seems to be a possibility that this could resolve without surgery, so I  am holiding out hope. He is doing well now and had a night without pain. He will have another abdominal x-ray this morning after which the surgeons will talk to us about options.
