Surgery update 6/4/2013

Brent got our about 45 min ago. He is doing well. They were able to do the "loop" colostomy procedure ( which I explained in the last post) there was a chance they would do a total colostomy. So we are thankful they didn't have to do a total!They were able take to breathing tube out and he is recovering well. He will be on a morphine hand pump because they had to make a laparoscopic incision bigger and it's in the middle of his stomach so it will be more painful. When they went in they pulled off 3 1/2 to 4 liters of fluid out of his abdominal cavity, so he should be feeling better from that! The surgeons are still going to keep a close eye on him to make sure he heals up well. He might be slow healing due to the amount of steroids that he is on. It sounds like he has a long road of recovery ahead of him with his kidneys and the healing from this procedure.
Thanks again for all the prayers! We can defiantly feel them! This morning when I woke up I was laying in bed and thinking about what all could go on today with surgery and such. I was getting kinda anxious thinking about it all until I decided to just get up and go over and see what was in store. When the time came that the surgeons came in and gave us the news thatnthey were for sure doing surgery I had a total peace about the procedure and what was ahead of us. Brent also said he was excited to get through the procedures and to be relieved of the pressure! We are SO thankful for the answered prayers.
