thanks so much for your reply!! his main problem and whats keeping him in hospital is adhesions at the moment. thay can't offer us any other options for the hirschbrungs other thatn the colostomy and although it's not ideal it's amazing that he's still with us.

i'm just happy he's still alive. although he's my brother he may as well be my own. that little boy is my heart and it kills me to see him in pain. i wouldn't be here otherwise!!!

so thanks for your help and i hope others on the board are as helpful and sweet. sincerest thanks jess xxxxxxxxxxxxx
