jeff is back in the hospital. Hopefully, but doughtful, this will work. The doctors are attempting to insert a biological plug through the drain, into the abscess, through the fistula and into the leak in his small intestine. Apparently, this has not been done too often and with only a 20% success rate. We are hoping for the best, but understand the reality. And what a day to be in NYC. Three attempted bombings, the entire NE Corridor train system shut down until this morning, and the UN meeting on the East side, not far from the hospital. It's normally a zoo here but completely wild now! We left home at 4:45 for a 9 am hospital time. We got here at 6 am! A bit early but I knew if we didn't get her by then, we were not going to get here. More stress on an already stressful day. If this plug does not solve the problem, Jeffrey said he will get a permanent Ostomy. So there is a lot riding on this procedure. He has been though so much, we all just want it to end.
