Surgery is Scheduled

We got the go ahead for surgery this evening. We will check into St. Francis tomorrow morning. He will receive IV fluids for the day and is an add on to the end of the surgery schedule. We are thinking surgery will be about 4 or 5 pm.
The test Jeff had done earlier today did not show much. The contrast only got approximately 1/2 way down the small intestines. They think Jeff might have an ileus. Since the contrast did not make it that far down then this is just speculation and they won't know until they get into surgery.
We do know tomorrow that they are removing the mesh and Jeff will have a colostomy. We will talk tomorrow with Dr. Hamilton about the removal of the right kidney and any additional tumor removal. Jeff's birthday is the 17th. He will be 32 and will have made it 4 years (in age-diagnosed at 28) since diagnosis. Poor guy will most likely be in the hospital still. Take care everyone!! I am not for sure what the internet access will be like at the hospital, so it maybe a little while before another update.
Hope all is well with everyone!!!
