Hi, just to let those of you who have been in touch with Theresa, (Terry 29) on this site in the past few months know that she is still in hospital.
She had complications resulting from her colostomy reversal surgery that took place at the end of November.
Things were looking quite good and Theresa was discharged home on the 6th of December, but she had to be readmitted a few days later with a leak in her bowel. Unfortunately, this meant surgeons had to reoperate and form an ileostomy on Monday. Such a shame for her!
I'm sure she would be really grateful if we all kept our fingers crossed that she makes a speedy recovery and is able to get home in time to spend Christmas with her family!
Thanks, Pami x

PAMM, tell her my prayers are with her, and I hope everything goes okay with the ileostomy. Tell her to hang in there.
