Clay boys colostomy

Clayton went in for surgery on Monday instead of Wednesday. The surgeon had an opening and was able to get him in right then. All went well. Clayton now has a bag hanging on his belly that allows him to have bauel movements. The docs think that they will have his breathing tube out today or tomorrow. They also think that he will be able to eat by Thursday or Friday. This sounds good to us. We are hoping that this means it will only be a fiew weeks before he can come home. (wish-full thinking) HE is looking good as far as his physical features go. The Chromosome test came back and all is normal that way as far as they can tell. So life goes on, we get bad news and good news and we just take it all in stride.
