My husband had a temporary colostomy placed 7 weeks ago. Today he had a normal size bowel movement rectally. Is this normal? Should his surgeon be notified?

I am just wondering why you speak for your husband? I myself I had perm colostomy but I never asked my wife to write for me, your husband should come out. He should not be shy.
I had a temp colonostomy placed and still cant have normal bowel fuctions , i am scared to go have it reversed since this would be surgery number 3 , the first was suppost to fix colon but threw me in emergency surgery and ended up with colostomy , its been since sept of 07 , but having bowel movements out of the rectum is normal my doc says
