Sorry to hear about the kiddo.
When ours was about 10 he spent two weeks at children’s healthcare in Atlanta.
Always super scary when a kiddo is sick .
Good news with my brother
Docs say he is healing enough won’t need surgery to remove parts of his pancreas
On the same day we got that news we learned that my 85 year old mother has cancer in her liver and that there is no treatment available for that
chemo and radiation don’t work with...
That’s what everyone telling him but he was on so much morphine he doesn’t remember any of the times he almost died, from pneumonia, from low blood pressure , from internal bleeding , etc
That’s for the prayers !
Keep em coming
He was released from the hospital yesterday.
He’s still in some pain and has three drains in his abdomen, and will have to have surgery in a few weeks to remove the dead tissue from his pancreas
I do have a couple of specific prayer requests
He’s...
Thanks for praying and keep em coming !
He was moved from ICU to a regular room
And feels a lot better than he has in about a month
Probably not going home any time soon but he is able to stand up
And walk to the bathroom
Getting blood transfusion today to increase hemoglobin
Doc says still going to require surgery to repair pancreas and remove parts of it and possibly remove spleen and gall bladder at a later date after inflammation goes away
Think Prilosec heartburn medicine caused all this
So if you have...
Thanks !
Keep
Em
Coming
Drained 4 liters of fluid from
Abdomen yesterday and 2.5 liters today
Supposed to install a stent tomorrow to direct this fluid back into small intestine where it’s supposed to go
Please keep praying
He has good days and bad days
Currently getting nutrition thru a picc line since he can't eat anything
He has a lot of fluid buildup in his abdomen but they can't do the procedure to drain it because his blood pressure has dropped too low
81/58
Surgery to close a hole in his diaphragm that was leaking fluid from abdomen into lining of lungs
Drain tube removed
Out of ICU into regular room
Still in a lot of pain
Update:
Chris is back in ICU
Docs not sure but think he is bleeding from pancreas or spleen
They haven't decided if surgery is the best route to take yet
So I'm asking for y'all to keep praying
