Surgery
I just talked to the surgeon. He is out of surgery and everything went well. It took a little longer than expected b/c of all of the scar tissue from his last surgery that they had to cut through. They were able to do it all laproscopicly, so the incision is smaller than last time. They did not have to remove any of his intestine like he originally thought. They just closed up the hole that was there and created a new opening next to it. By not having to cut out a piece, there is less area that has to be stapled and heal, so it should minimize the risk of more problems. They found no active Crohn's, which is awesome. He is in recovery now and should be back up to his room in an hour or 2. The dr said he is doing good and they are being very proactive in trying to keep his pain under control. Hopefully the recovery from this surgery will be much easier and shorter, and we can go back to living some sort of a normal life soon. Thank you all for your prayers, and continue to pray that this is the last of his issues for a long time!!
