hurting for my son
So we just found out on Monday after a series of scopes that my son will be having his colon(most if not all) removed soon. They also found a stricture that even with changing scopes they couldn't get past. I am trying to see the upside to this like his ilieostomy will be gone. We have tried it all and the ilieostomy with meds and letting the colon rest did not help at all, and he has had the ilieostomy for a little over a year. It is so hard to see the up side and smile like it is all ok. It isn't ok to start removing your childs organs at 11 years old, especially when we don't have promise that it will even help the problem.
I am trying to be strong for my son. He is scared and worried but he wants the surgery if it will mean getting rid of the bag. Guess I just needed to vent and put my worries out there.
