Clarification

I feel that I need to clarify something that I misunderstood in an early post while Jennie was in the hospital and that has become somewhat of an issue.

So Jennie has been having some pain similar to the pain she was having prior to the surgery for more than a week now. The pain is not after every meal, but it has been getting more frequent so she e-mailed Dr. Sutherland about it.

He explained that the pain is most likely from her Colon, which has been damaged by the frequent narcotics use over the last several years. Basically her Colon is not working properly at this point, but Dr. Sutherland felt after seeing it in the surgery that there was a good chance it would heal itself as she is able to reduce and hopefully eliminate the narcotics use of the next year. I didn't understand this before, but it does make a lot of sense.

In the e-mail Dr. Sutherland did mention that there was a chance an additional surgery might be required to remove a portion of the colon if it didn't begin to heal itself, so we are praying that won't be necessary.
