Hi Downlow friends........ Please add my husband, Travis aka PeeWee, to your prayer list. He is having major surgery Monday - he is having a bowel resection with approx 24 inches of his left sigmoid colon being removed. He has been battling diverticulitous for 3 years and his last bout in May just about perforated and it's time to get this fixed. We've been dealing with doctors all over south Texas and test all summer and FINALLY got the clearance to do the surgery. They originally thought he had colon cancer, OMG talk about stress, but they are 99.9999% sure he doesn't but won't know for sure until they open him up". Tomorrow, he does his "Golitely clean out" 3rd one since June so he is an old hand at that (by the way, there is NOTHING LIGHTLY about Golitely lol).
Emotionally, he is ready to get this taken care of, and he is aware there is a slight chance he'll have a colostomy bag but the surgeon really doesn't think that will happen. We are looking at ICU for 2 days, regular room for 5 - so hopefully he'll come home next Sunday. He is totally computer illiterate but he got an Iphone in June, and has mastered (sortof) playing Texas Holdem and Solitaire and messing with Youtube and Email, so that will help occupy his time in the hospital.. Anyway please say a prayer that all goes well and they don't find any cancer and he doesn't have to have the "bag"... He quit smoking in May, when he has his last attack, so that should help his recovery some. thank you so much

44's Prayers Request
Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

Lulu, I was so sorry when I read about your husband. Had he been sick? I lost a dear girlfriend last Sunday (48 yrs old) to a heart attack - no warning - she had been at a dinner party - went to a friends, slumped over and never woke up.. Hold your loved ones closely.. Please you know you are in my prayers Lulu Originally Posted by lulu
PeeWee drank his gallon of Golitely - and ate his Jello and drank some broth for lunch.. he is still up -(10:15pm) he has to take more antibiotics at 11pm - then we'll try to get a few hours of sleep before we wake up to take MORE meds at 3 AM - we need to leave the house about 5:15AM - his mental status is good.. he's just ready to get this overwith.. I am confident in the surgeon and even have a friend who'll be in the OR while he's being operated on. Just pray they don't have to do the BAG - but if so, we'll deal with that................... I'll try to post an update but my Blackberry's browser sucks but I'll have PeeWee's Iphone, maybe I can figure it out on his.. thanks everyone
