My little brother is having his surgery early tomorrow morning.
It has taken a long time for his surgeon and their team to devise a plan for this surgery.
To say how crazy this is. His type of Mal-rotation of the bowel only shows up in .2 to 1% of the population and only .2 to .5% make it to adults without surgery or being caught early on and fixed.
They even have a pediatric surgeon present on the team because he has seen more of this type of issue in kids so they want his experience.
My brother's main surgeon told him that it is only by some higher power that he is still alive today because his Mal-rotation is cutting off the blood supply to his lower bowel.
My brother is a US Army soldier and has been for 12 years. With all the things he has done his surgeon is taking this case very slowly and working with the best doctors.
I just hope and pray that everything goes perfect so he can keep doing the job he loves and serving our country.
