Good but slightly sucky news.

Well here's the poop. We met with Dr. Aggarwal this morning. He had all the test results and gave us good but not totally perfect news. He said that the treatments Julie has been doing are working, but have not totally healed up the inflammation. Soooo... they will not be doing surgery this week. We will come back home, they will double Julie's dosage of Remicade and we will wait 6 more months for her colon to heal. The good part: things ARE healing and Julie is responding to drug therapy. The sucky part: 6 more months of illeostomy fun. But hey, it could be a lot worse. We have one more appointment at 4:00 today with the surgeon, (he may take out a drain. woo hoo) and will spend the night tonight and then as long as the surgeon doesn't tell us something different will head home tomorrow. I'll keep you posted if anything changes.
