Thomas' Surgery

Hi, everybody. We spent the better part of a day at Children's Hospital in Birmingham yesterday. Thomas evidently has a birth defect called a Redundant Rectum. The surgeon said he's never seen anyone with this problem before...leave it to our family to be original! :) Anyway, it mean his rectum is shaped like an S instead of just diagonally like a slide (the normal way). So they will do surgery on Tuesday, Nov. 18th. We don't know what time yet. They also said he will have to stay on Miralax the rest of his life. The gastro-surgeaon is hoping this surgery will work as it will be outpatient and relatively easy for him. If it doesn't, they will go in and actually stretch out the rectum and tie it off somewhere inside. The surgeon thinks the easy surgery will at least hold until he gets a little older, so that's what we're praying for! Any prayer support you could give us we'd greatly appreciate! Thanks friends!
