Dave was in surgery for a little over 4 hours.  They found not just the huge herniated tranverse colon thingy, but multiple freakin herniations.  The surgeon is awesome!! He fixed every single one of them and NO perforations at all.  He covered the compromised abdomen (remember, DH was crushed from the chest down at age 19 while on a mission in the Army, and his abdomen looks like a train station, he has some thirty scars i believe), anyway, he covered the whole thing with this mesh stuff they have now, to reinforce it.

 

He will be in hospital at least through Monday, then we shall see when he can be released.

 

Thank you one and all for your prayers, thoughts and general good whatever you sent our way!!
