The procedure of Hirschsprung's disease
The Doctors cut the colon that was dead (void of nerve cells) that was attached to the rectum. Then they reattached the colon that has nerve cells to the rectum. This remedies acute constipation, which is the problem. In our case, eight inches of dead intestine (colon). They reattach his colon to his rectum so that his colon is no longer void of nerve loss.
However it takes a tremendous amount of time for Nolan (children) to learn to control their bowel muscles. But, It can be done! This is probably a little confusing if you have not experienced this. So let me say it this way, the colon that was reattached is no longer dead; however the rectum has been cut as well to accommodate the surgery, so now there is a different problem!
That is that, now the rectum is void of being able to contract when bowels need to expel. So there for we have the opposite problem, constant stool. Now Nolan has to do "mind over matter" to control his bowels, wow, this is a very daunting thought for a parent, knowing that there child already has severe mental challenges to overcome.
