Hello everyone, all you good and wonderful friends! I think about all of you every day and am hoping all is well with you and yours.
April 4th, Friday, my husband had his fourth surgery. It was a 7 and half hour grueling affair and his surgeon is confident that this one has banished the source of the constant infections. The colon was straightened and rerouted and all fistulas were taken care of. For the next few days, he will be closely monitored for any tell-tale signs of infection. All his vitals are excellent, unlike the last three surgeries were he had terrible oxygen levels, high blood pressure, etc. He is dealing with the severe pain as much as is humanly possible, and has high expectations of being on the golf course sometime this summer!! He is also looking forward to eating again, as he has had nothing at all by mouth in four months. All his "food" and nutrition being administered by a feeding tube.
Spring brings us new beginnings, sunny opportunities and bountiful optimism.
I can feel that positive energy flying all around!!!
Brightest blessings and hugs from Robin!!!

Robin, I am so happy to hear from you! Mom and I haven't stopped thinking about your hubby and you! When April 4th came, I thought, this has to be a lucky day! April (4th month), 4th day, and 2014. I didn't realize it was your hubby's 4th surgery too! 4 fours! Has to be a great sign ;o) I am so sorry he is dealing with so much pain! But, I am so happy everything went excellent! He will be golfing soon ;o) Our healing prayers are continuing to be sent! Much love! xoxoxoox
Holding you and the mister in my thoughts and prayers still. This time it's gonna be the one. Everything I've got crossed.

That is FANTASTIC news! Keeping your husband and yourself in my thoughts. May he heal quickly and without any more complications!! Blessings of spring to you both!
Sounds as if this surgery is the one! I do hope that it is so he doesn't have to go through anything like this again in his life.
This must be exhausting for You too so take it easy and take care!

Wishing your husband a quick and uneventful healing.
