Ben is scheduled for surgery

Ben stomach is now causing major problems, he cannot accept food or nutrients as he is very bloated. The doctors are not sure why his intestines are not processing. X-rays are not lending any more information.

So they need to open up the stomach to have a look and operate if necessary. The doctors think it may be a stricture (a narrowing of the intestines). This is a relatively simple operation and carries a low risk, if the doctors find a stricture, it can be fixed easily and quickly. .

Should have news on the operation later today, there is also a possibility the operation could happen tomorrow.
Time is of the essence here, hang in there little one.
