Hello everyone. Mark is hanging in there. He is trying to eat more. Not sure yet whether the appetite stimulant is working yet. We will check his weights this week to see. He thinks he has put on a few pounds already, though.
Mark's test from Friday showed a small leak in the rectal area called a fistula. It will have to be repaired before the ileostomy can be reversed. The films have been sent to Pittsburgh, so we are waiting on them to receive them and review them and give us their opinion on what needs to happen next. We are not sure whether this can all be done at once or will now require 2 surgeries. We will wait and see.
Colton had 2 scrimmage games this weekend here in Auburn instead of playing his tournament in LaGrange. It was nice that we didn't have to travel and we enjoyed watching them play. We went to Shakey's after the games and the kids had a good time. We still have 2 tournaments left this year. Next weekend we'll be in LaGrange and then the weekend after that we will go to Gulfport, MS. Not sure yet whether surgery will interfere with either of these trips. We will see.
Keep Mark in your prayers and hope that this will be an easy fix for the surgeons. Mark has an appointment at the Surgery Clinic today for his wound. It is almost completely healed now and is looking good. I would be surprised if they schedule anymore followups with him. Thanks again for all of the support and God bless!!!
