Update

Surgery went well. Dr. Duke says that the right side looks really clean, and the left side has been looking good for a while now. This is necessary as we move toward grafting.

A fistula has developed in the bowel and while Dr. Duke has tried many times to fix this he has temporarily called a truce with it. The plan is to one day (no real timeline given) go back and make this repair. For now Dr. Duke will just work on getting the other wounds ready for grafting. When the day comes to go back in and fix the bowel, hopefully the bowel will be stronger and able to be repaired. In the mean time his digestive tract will be bypassed and he will remain on TPN.
