Question: Within 24 hrs of my 31 year old daughters colon resection due to a blockage, it literally came undone. She was in extreme pain and was crying out. Nurses were assuming she was a drug seeker and didnt respond to her pain. Stool started oozing from one of her laproscopic incisions. Her MD was called in and removed a staple, the stool ran down her side. He proceeded to get her ready for emergency surgery and I helped her up to the toilet. While washing her hands at the sink one of her incisions EXPLODED and forcefully projected brown stool covering the sink, the wall, the toilet and the floor. I whisked her back to bed where she eventually went back to surgery….. this was Oct. 2013…….. many attempts to correct the surgery have taken place including a failed iliostomy. She is suffering from repeated fistulas that break through to the skin. The 'wound managers' have to be changed 2 times a week at Mayo because of the extensive procedure. Some have been as long as 6 inches. She has been on TPN and lipids since late October. When in the ICU it was then discovered she had NO protein in her body! She was never given a blood test prior to surgery and was also on a steroid for her crohns flare up. Again, once she was diagnosed at 26 there was never a management program started, only treating flare ups with prednisone. My question is, are the chronic fistula problems from the crohns or from the fact her abdomen was filled with stool and there were so many pockets that were never flushed out? She's had many infections and cellulitus as well! What should we do, it's very hard to be confident with any decisions we've made! Should we agree with this renowned surgeon?
