ACE

[Kmitch]

Hi, tomorrow we decide if my son, 11 has an Ace (stoma) although it has been something we have discussed lots before we have now come to the fact we have tried everything and we are running out of options....there are talks of a double ACE to encorparate the bladder. has anyone else have a teen with an ACE? I just wondered if I could talk to someone that knows how it impacts on their life etc

My son is 9 and is on the waiting list so should have surgery by the summer holidays. I keep thinking about not wanting him to have it, but then he soils again and gets so upset and angry about that I realise that it's his only way for some normality. I am happy to chat with you anytime especially during his surgery and healing time.
