Hello Everyone,My Name is Kayla Nicole Rosado,I am 10yrs od,and i life in Ky.I have had an Colostomy since i was 3 weeks old,when i was 4 they tried to remove it,but well it didn't go very well,what i mean is when tey tried to reverse my colostomy i got real sick and got more problems with my Health,so they had to put it back.I lived in the hospital for the first 4yrs of my life,when i was 5 they sent me home on Life Support,i also had a tube connecting to my heart,but i had no idea what that did,then i had an iv thing hooked up to my chest.I had doctors and Surgeons coming to my house everyday.As i got to age 7,they told me to tr doing ome activities,thats when they tok the iv out of my chest,and the tube out of my heart.The doctor told me to try to start riding a bike very slowly tho,then i tried very slow jogging,i picked up my speed a little bit everyday.Of course i could only stay at a speed,i couldn't go real fast because they toldl me that can make my colostomy bleed and Prolaps.I wasn't rerally sure what prolap meant,but they sat me downed and explained it all to me.I have Hursprings Diease thats what caused al of this,i am lucky in one part because 99% of the people who get Hursprung's Diease gets Down Syndrome but Thank God I didn't.I have had over 72 Major Surjeries,lets jump back a lil bit,when i was 2 months old the doctor told my mom to just hold me intill i pass away,my mom wouldn't hear of it she would hold me and cry.Oh i also have 3rd stage Ashtma.I have to carry an  Inhaler all the time with me.I also have to carry an Epipen.I had to go to Kosair Children one  time in the middle of the night because my colostomy has got blocked,u colostomy an get blocked by popcorn corn and nuts ECT..I am now a happy 10 year old that for now bye

Hi everyone, I am a nursing student going to do a clinical on a
colostomy reversal. What can I expect to see? I have looked all over my
textbook and the net but have been unable to find much about this. I
know that my patient is a young male that had a colostomy done to allow
a rectal fistula to heal. He is now having the reversal done and I
will be seeing him the day of his surgery. I am interested in know
about what incisions there will be ect. I just want to be prepared.
thanks,
KS
