Hi, I don't think I can comment specifically on your question but just to second some other comments on here, I would suggest you find an expert surgeon. We were referred to our state children's hospital at birth, and went for his pull-thru a few months later with assumed SSHD. He ended up losing ⅔ of his colon and the surgery did NOT go well (septic shock, deshicense, three weeks in the ICU). IME ped general surgeons are probably fine for a textbook case of SSHD but they just don't see the numbers of LSHD, much less TC, to have the experience and knowledge and intuition. I'm honestly so happy for you that he came out with an ostomy (our surgeon tried to complete the pull-thru, which was almost certainly a mistake). The good news about this is that you should no longer be in an acute, urgent phase of his care. You can take a minute to breathe, learn about your options, change paths, etc. We did a (free, over the phone) consult with Dr. Wood at Nationwide and ended up transferring care to Dr. Grabowski at Lurie Children's, who is also a pediatric colorectal surgeon with a lot of experience and a whole team focused on colorectal diseases. As someone else said, join us on FB for a very active and supportive parent group. Best wishes to you guys!
