Anyone got experience - bowel removal

My little boy has just had emergency surgery and had 80% bowel removal. I have been dealing with the initial shock and he's still in intensive care due to his history of breathing problems (hes on permanant home oxygen).

Can anyone give me any idea of life afterwards? They have mentioned the possibility of pump feeding if he cant tolerate food. I wondered if anyone had any experience.

Gosh what a shock for you OP. Hopefully someone with experience will be able to post for you soon.

Chorton, so sorry you both had to go through this. I know you said it was a possibility a while ago.
Hope your DS recovers well and you get lots of support from the hospital.
Wish I could help but have no experience of this.
Big hugs x
