A Long Night

After a very long and complicated surgery, Keyan made it to the recovery room and then to our room. He, of course had a lot of pain and his oxygen level was low, so they gave him oxygen and pain medication. He was up a good part of the night with an upset stomach ache...which was relieved with a huge vomit. He is sleeping now and seems more comfortable.


During the surgery they removed his damaged bladder and created a new bladder from a piece of his bowel. Because of previous surgeries done in China, he had a tremendous amount of scar tissue which made the process more challenging. They also created a stoma which connects the bladder to the belly button. He will now be able to use a catheter through the stoma to drain his urine!
