It will hopefully close by itself in two weeks, otherwise he call the surgeon and they will close it surgically. They said that Connor's opening was so tight that the hope is that is just closes by itself. When it all heals, I will post some "after" pictures. Right now it just is a hole with some ostomy paste over it to keep from leaking and a bandage. Connor was tough tfor the whole thing. When the surgeon picked him up to move him on the table, he struggled and said that he was definitely not "malnourshed". Connor is really packing on the pounds with all the Rice Dream ice cream.
