F/U on MIL

After a 3.5 hour surgery, the doctor finally came in and talked to us. Basically, it took them an hour just to cut through the scar tissue and lesions caused by the surgery she had 7 weeks ago. All of her organs down there were sort of laying on top of one another sticking together because of the scar tissue. They couldn't find the exact location of the leak, but determined it had to be coming from the previous re-section. So, they took about 4 more inches of her colon and resectioned that. They also had to take out a lot of scar tissue and insert a sort of fatty tissue to prevent the same thing from happening again.What they thought would be an easy surgery that could be done with a scope ended up being major one that required them to open her back up. She has a wound vac, catheder, oxygen, full leg compression boots, a surgery drain thing and a lot of pain. To top it off, the doctor told us she would most likely be in here 10-14 days. When she wakes up, she's going to be so upset. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. It will be a very long recovery.And sorry it's so lumped-together. I'm on the iPad.
