I am new here. Our son was born in Jan '06 with hirschprung's in the
last half of his large intestine. He's had a colostomy to the left of
his bellybutton since march '06. Everything has went pretty smooth for
the past 13 months besides the occasional bleeding and I cant keep the
bags more than a day on our active toddler. May 24 he will be reversed,
something we have long waited for. I was reading some of the past
messages on here, about all the post-opperation problems of being
reconnected. It made me cry. Our little one is so small I wont know if
he is cying from pain or just cause he is a baby. I hope every thing
goes perfect, but in this world nothing is ever that it seems. Any
suggestion for the hour long ride home in the car seat on his butt?
besides drugs and a donut to sit on?? Any thing I can do for him
afterwards?? As anxious as we are we are frightened too. Any words of
consolement? Thank you have a happy healthy day!!
