[Magdalen] Surgery prayers

[Charles Wohlers]

This is for older son Thomas, who is to have an ileostomy at Mass. General tomorrow. This is where they disconnect the lower end of the small intestine, direct it outside, and feed it into a bag. This is to give the large intestine and colon “a rest” – Thomas has had Crohn’s disease since he was little. The plan is to then reconnect things at a later date. He should be in the hospital 3-5 days. This should be fairly routine surgery, but ...

Lee had been planning on going down there, but, since he’ll be in the hospital until the weekend, she’s planning on only going down there next week if needed when Thomas’ wife Melissa has to go back to work.

Prayers for a successful surgery and quick recovery would be welcome.
