Maureen just rang. Reece is out of surgery. The operation took almost 10 hours and Reece has over 2000 internal stitches.
He is now in intensive care. Maureen said he has tubes everywhere and he is on a ventilator.
The operation was a success in as much as they did what they set out to do. i.e. cut his stomach open and sew it back together in such a way as to double it's capacity.
Reece started out with only 18cm of intestine. Over the last few months that has been increased to 40+cm by forcing milk into it and then making him hold it there for ever longer periods.
Today, that 40+cm was doubled to 80+cm.
If I understand this properly. 80cm is viable. Enough to sustain life, but...
Over the next year they have to teach Reece to eat, (I don't think he ever has) and then hope that his stomach is capable of absorbing nutrients.
So, a long way to go, but today was a success, and that's all we could hope for.
Maureen is, as you will understand, absolutely shattered. but she asked me to thank you all for your kindness and promises to post when she can.
I apologise if I have got any of the facts wrong, when I was talking to Maureen I was very relieved and a little emotional. The main thing is, he came through it and he's OK.

Thanks for the update Tom.
Can't possibly imagine what they must all be going through, I'm always at a loss as to what to say.
Thinking of all your family Maureen, best wishes and positive vibes for Reece
