It can resolve on its own, so they're hoping for that. The small bowel telescopes on itself and it can go back and forth, resolving but then re-telescoping. If it gets swollen and inflamed and gets stuck while telescoped, then the bowel becomes blocked, blood supply can be compromised, and surgery becomes necessary.

I'm sorry Minifob and you are going through this painful, upsetting situation. I hope it resolves and you can take him home without surgery. Sending hugs.
