Thurs. Sept. 13th, Luke's surgery

Luke's surgery went well today. They did find a spot in his intestine that had adhered to the intestinal wall and it caused a kink like area that was causing the slowing of his digestion. They were able to fix that section and check the rest of the intestine for any other issues and all looked good. Luke had 3 tiny holes and 1 one inch incision. One of the tiny holes is through his belly button, so it's not noticeable. Luke should be able to eat in the next day or two since they didn't have to cut any part of the intestine.
Luke's special blessing by Fr. Steve Geer and along with all your prayers is what has helped get Luke through this tough day. I think Jeremy and I will be able to sleep a little better tonight.
