| She had a gynecological surgery on July 18,2007. A foreign object put in her eroded and caused a fistula (a tear between two organs). As a result, she had to have an ileostomy. The doctors said it would be temporary - that the fistula could be repaired. She has had five surgeries without definite results. Next month we are going to New York to see a specialist, and then decide whether to have him perform another more extensive surgery, with some risk involved. Thank you. |
