Bye bye bag
Tomorrow morning Matthew is going in for surgery to reverse his ileostomy. This means that tomorrow, we’re trading the ostomy bag for dirty nappies! It’s one more step closer to normality.
The surgery itself is fairly routine, however Matthew will still need to go under a general anesthetic, be put on a ventilator and spend a few days at PMH. Naturally, Mum and myself are pretty nervous, but we know our little man is a tough little fella and will be just fine.
I’ll let you know how it all goes.

Oh my goodness! What a huge step for all of you, and what a great achievement! I know Matty will come through just fine- I wish you many, many delightfully dirty nappies for the forseeable future.
Good luck to all three of you
