Update

The Younger is out of surgery [1]. That is all I know at this time.

Update a few minutes later …

The magnets did get separated—one ended up in his stomach and the other one ended up in his intestines. They did attract each other and the attraction was enough to cause them to borrow through tissue.

They've been removed (and were quite corroded from what I understand) and the holes sewn up. He's in recovery for the forseeable future. So now it's just waiting around until he heals up.
