Brad is out of surgery. We have not seen him yet. The doctor said he took out 7-8 inches of his colon. The portion of the colon that was inflammed was almost obstructed. The doctor was glad he got it out. Brad will be thankful he did not have to get a colostomy. The doctor said he will have a draining tube for five days or so. He will be in the hospital another week and then several weeks at home. The surgeon says that he will not be eating anything for a few days and then he will be on a strict liquid diet.
We are very thankful for the surgeon and his team! We pray that Brad has an easy recovery.

wow you guys.
I wasn't online on the blog for a couple days and now I hear about this. I hope all the best for you and I will be praying for a fast recovery.
Welcome to the world of colon problems. I feel your pain (sort of).
Jackie has been keeping us updated on Brad. We just got back from being out of town & wanted to check in on him. He will recover just fine & be up & at'um in no time. If ya'll need anything, we are just a phone call away. I bet Brycen misses his Daddy?
So glad he is out of surgery and on his way to a healthier Brad. We are praying for you all.
