Ok so I didn't get walked out of the hospital or anything. I talked to Jeff just before the Dr. showed up. God knew what he was doing when he created Jeff just for me. He's my rock. I remained calm, explained how I was feeling and how Seth was feeling and that we NEEDED him to come in and to fix the problem or reassure us that he was ok. Seth needs to not only have his physical needs met but his emotional as well. They removed the bag and cleaned the site, the bleeding is fresh blood and was/is coming from around the side of the Stoma (which is actually his small intestine that is now on the outside of his body) and it is very vascular and bleeds easily. He told Sethto try not to touch, push or bunp it and the bleeding will clot and stop. This could happen for soe time to come, he couldn't tell me how long. He told me to ask Dr. S in the morning.
I think he could tell that I am suffering from severe sleep deprivation! He told me several times to try and get a good nights sleep. I told him he needed to give me something. He laughed, I WAS SERIOUS!!! I told him that I was getting a little testy, he said he understood that we have been through a lot over the past week, (he doesn't even have a clue) and he apologized for not being more cooperative. Seth is at ease now and will sleep a lot better now I'm sure. Good Night Guys. Love Ya, V & S

Jeff is a wise man. Glad you got talked down, Vic, and that Seth got the care and attention that he needed and deserved. It was very professional of the dr to apologize. So the bleeding isn't unexpected? I guess having internal organs on the outside of the body can cause some issues. Vic, I hope that you will be able to get some sleep. Praying steadily,
Love you,
Laura

Vicki,

God made us momma bears for a reason!! God entrusts us with these special gifts called children and expects us to be their best advocats. Hang in there and I will be praying that God will give you the rest and peace that you need. Seth, please continue to feel better everyday. You are in our prayers all day.

May God send you special blessings today.
