Everything crossed for you @Ashley , I think narrowing down the causes must help a bit?

Lots of love to you all, I hope the surgery goes smoothly and you get some solid answers.

Sending positive vibes for a very good outcome. It sounds encouraging that she is relatively fine in herself, just hope they didn't leave a swab in!

 

[snowbunny]

Oh no, you must be beside yourself. Poor Quinn and poor you. We have everything crossed here for her - and we have a lot of legs between us all.

 

[Lisa]

Hope it all goes well and that they are able to get her on the road to recovery soon! Hang in there.

Quinn just got out of surgery. Surgeon said that there was a pocket of fluid in the small intestine that ruptured, which can be cause by a number of things but his strongest feeling is that it was microscopic bacteria left behind from her first surgery. He had to remove 12cm more of small intestine that was very abnormal and thickened. He said that for the small intestine, this amount (+ the 10cm removed in Nov) is not concerning until you start removing 80-90% of the intestine. He is getting a biopsy done on the section he removed as it is so irregular. They leak tested her entire intestine and there does not seem to be any leakage, but there are two other sections with adhesions but they were so far apart that were not abnormal enough to resection. The main concern is if there is ongoing bacteria, so she will be in the ICU for several days with a drain to suck fluid from the site. The risk now is if there is more bacteria, she will have to undergo another surgery. He thinks because she went into the surgery fairly healthy and young that the risk is low and recovery should be smooth. The earliest she could come home is Saturday afternoon with the drain still in, but it's at the wait and see stage. Long term, leakage and abnormal intestines are the biggest concern.

Oh you poor, poor things all of you.

I think it is good news that the operation went smoothly! Now a waiting game...hopefully the antibiotics will kick in and that no other bacteria will be found! Fingers crossed! As I said earlier try to get some rest as when she comes home you need your strength....Thinking of you!!

I am so sad for you xxxxxxx

 

[HAH]

It sounds like you’ve got a strong handle on the current state of things @Ashley, and the surgeon is on top of it. Quinn is fit and healthy and they’ll keep a very close watch on her. I’m so sorry you’re going through this xxxxxx

 

[Jacqui-S]

So glad they have got to the bottom of this now and are well on the case.
Poor Quinn.
Hoping all is smooth from now on in.
