More Surgery

Mom is going to have another surgery, scheduled sometime today (Wednesday, June 5). 

Her colostomy stoma retracted resulting in feces being discharged into her abdomen and causing an infection.

She went to KDH yesterday from where she was sent to the General Hospital in Ottawa.  We found out at 11:00 pm that surgery was necessary to rectify the problem.  

So, mom is back in hospital – the home care plan is automatically cancelled when that happens and we will have to wait to see what happens next.  I imagine she will be in the General for a few days and then transferred back to KDH  for further recovery (the city hospitals like to turnover patients as quickly as possible).


I will post surgery results as I am able.
