It seems as if the team is in limbo mode (and I don't mean the dancing kind). He had a barium study done of his lower instestine to see how much is past his current ostomy. He currently has 11cm of small bowel and 10 cm of large intestine - that's it. We're talking meer inches of sections. So no one is sure how much it would help to have him get his take down now vs. coming home with a central port. Big concern there is he is so immuno-compremised a line infection could hurt him badly. So no one is sure of the best course of action.
Stay tuned. Next week should be more interesting!
