I am sorry that I don't know your whole story. I think I tried replying to you back then in January because I am in Houston as well. I never heard anything back from you.
As far as the adhesions getting better on their own, I don't know. I do know that I have good days and bad days with adhesions. Some days I can tolerate the pain a little better. Was your son experiencing pain after his appendectomy? Maybe there was still some healing going on inside and it was that instead of adhesions. I don't know because I don't know the whole story. These are just some maybes as to what is going on.
I had surgery in Feb and my adhesions are back. So it might be better that you have waited, especially if he is tolerating the pain. More surgery might just make things worse for him. I have found out the hard way that you really want a doctor who knows what they are doing. I hope you find some answers.
Love, Jenny
