Fourth Surgery

Mama is out of surgery. They were able to close the incision but they did have to cut the muscle on her sides to fully close. She's going to have the ventilator for at least a few more days until they can wean her off and they think she'll be in the hospital for at least two more weeks and in a care facility for a few more weeks after that. They do believe that this will be her last surgery for now unless the pressure starts to build and cuts off her kidneys. They will be watching her closely. It turns out that most of the blockage was caused by her diverticulitis and it's possible that the C-diff weakened the intestines and colon. Another hour or so and I can see my mama!!
