Our journey continues

So by the grace of God, Dr. Morgan is on call. He must be so tired of seeing Bill, Jean, Will & me in a waiting room. This makes the 6th time. He's done all but 2 of Lane's. Yes, you added correctly, he's had 8. Eight surgeries in 3 years and 7 mo, 2 of which were emergency due to a perforation. You have to question why an innocent child must endure all that he has had to. But back to the story at hand. I signed the consent forms and we went to the 3rd floor to wait. We were the only ones in there which was kind of weird. Of course it makes the 2nd time we've sat in there alone and that's not counting the 1st one back in Oct. of '06. Surgery started at 11:34 and by 1:45 or so Dr. Morgan was out talking to us. It went well and Lane remained stable throughout. He said he found a perforation in his stomach. I didn't know it could do that. It was about the size of a quarter and he didn't know why it happened. He said he didn't think the Baclofen pump was infected, which was a cause for concern earlier in the night. He also didn't find any more perforations in the intestines, even saying they looked remarkably good considering Lane's history. Dr. Morgan explained that he left the wound open so that it would heal with much less chance of infection that way. We are already battling an infection from the perf. we don't need the wound adding to our trouble. Said he would put him on medicine to control the acid in case an ulcer had caused all this. We thanked him again and told him to have a good trip. You see if this had happened Friday, Dr. Morgan would've been in North Carolina. God still has His hands on Lane.
