This is Kathleen updating today's events for Mary. She had surgery tonight at about 6 p.m. to put a temporary ostomy in her colon to relieve her blockage. This ostomy was done by a very small incision to allow Mary to heal quickly so that she can move forward in healing and then possibly starting chemo next week. She managed the surgery well and we all talked to her later tonight after she returned to her room. She will likely stay in the hospital over the weekend and the doctor wants her to be eating food this weekend and making sure that she can tolerate it before sending her home. Hopefully she will begin chemo shortly after returning home. Then, at a later date.......probably after her chemo, Mary will have another surgery to affix a permanent ostomy.
We're all thankful that she can move forward now and receive chemo in the near future.
Love and thanks to you all for your prayers and support of Mary.
