I don?t get on here much anymore but, this place is my second home and a lot of you are my second family.
I come to all of you with a prayer request for my Dad he went in the hospital a few weeks ago with a bowel obstruction and all the not so fun stuff that goes with it, vomiting and diarrhea, etc.
Anyway they had a tube that ran though his nose to his stomach to empty his GI tract in hopes that the linked or twisted intestine would straighten out. Well after a few days of this they were hopeful that it would work but, after a few ultra sounds and further X-rays, they had to do exploratory surgery to correct any links or twists.
After removing a few lesions and adhesions and physically checking everything and finding a few raw spots. They closed him up and within a few days he started to eat jello and drink some ensure drinks. Even though he was still week from almost a full week of no major food but getting nutrients through IV. They released him to a physical therapy facility.
Well he?s been there for three days and today he started vomiting again, so they rushed him to the ER.
They are checking him out as I type this. I?m hoping it?s not more problems with his bowels.
Thank you everyone.
