2nd day after take down surgery

Kenz will get to go home tomorrow. She has been able to pass gas and has pooped in the potty!! Lol. Honestly it has been so funny how we are all so excited for the first poop, just like she was just learning to use the potty. Finding humor during this journey has been a saving grace. She said it looked like little rabbit poop!

She has been off her IV today and started the "bridge diet." This consists of cream based soup broth, scrambled eggs, apple sauce and pasta.  

The gas pain does really get intense and taking gas x and some pain meds are getting her through. She is able to get herself up and walk around. She showered and really only complains about how tired she is and the gas pains. Other than that, things are going smoothly.

I think tonight I'm going to post a picture of Kenz on her wedding day. She and Mason had to change their wedding date due to her surgeries. They still wanted to have the wedding in 2014 so they decided to get married after the jpouch construction surgery but before this take down. She had a very rough time during that time with some blockages dealing with extreme stomach pain nausea and vomiting. She was in rough shape even on her wedding day. However she pulled together everything she could to get through the day. This disease truly is a hidden disease. Everyone saying, "You don't look sick."  Well all you fellow UCers know how that is. Here is a picture of my beautiful daughter who looks amazing and pushed through a very rough day on her wedding day. I know I keep saying it but.....she is one determined strong young women walking down the isle with her bag under her dress feeling like shit. I love her to pieces!
