We are a bit nervous about trying to do it so close to the spine surgery, but it will certainly make wound care so so much simpler! I am going in tomorrow to meet with a nurse for training on the care of the ileostomy. It is a bit of a whirlwind, but we have been praying that God would close the door if it wasn’t the right course to take ahead of the fusion. Aimee is strong and in great health, aside from the blood counts issue. May angels watch over her and protect her from harm. May she continue to be healthy, happy, and strong.
5.12.21 Ileostomy
We have agreed to an ileostomy surgery next Friday, May 21st. I am excited to have it done. It will be incredibly freeing for our family. Aimee will not have to have 2 hours of her day taken up with sitting on a toilet chair to only have leaks and issues between times. Her amount of infections should be dramatically reduced! She will be free to spend her days outside and on adventures again!
