Angel to be readmitted.

Angel will be admitted back to the hospital tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon/evening. They are going to do a scope through his ostomy as well as an upper and lower GI. He will also have a Barium Enema done and those test results will determine how soon they are going to do the surgery to take down his ileostomy. There is a possibility they will do it as soon as the end of next week but also a possibility he will have to be admitted later on for that. His ostomy continues to worsen and prolapse (the intestine is actually coming out of the stoma or opening even more). It is bleeding and we believe could be the cause of the increasing nausea and vomiting he is having. He has ups and downs throughout the day in regards to how he feels. As I type he is playing with his Playmobil set at the kitchen table.

We are trying to enjoy our last day as a family again for a while... It was wonderful to be home together for a week but almost makes it more difficult to have him go back in because we have experienced the joy of being together and the possibility of going home soon. We have been so content living here and beyond grateful for our provisions and current situation. But now we realize that we are tired and really missing home and the people there who mean so much to us. The journey is long. We will make it together.

Please pray for Angel to feel better... for the nausea, vomiting, and retching to subside. Pray that they will be successful in taking down his ostomy and "reconnecting" him. Pray that our family will be bolstered in this... "round 2" of hospitalization and being separated.
