Hi everyone ~ We are so thankful for your prayers. Seth is feeling better, but very weak. As Laura said he has lost 9 pounds since Tuesday afternoon when he saw his dr. Seth truly experienced the worst pain he has ever had in his life on Tuesday night. They gave him Fentenol through IV (that is the same pain killer they gave my mom at home with hospice when she was dying of cancer). Once the blockage passed he was relieved of the pain, but very weak, and the ostomy filled with blood tinged fluid. We are watching him closely. He has to eat very small amounts and chew his food very well. All he ate the day of the problem was French toast for breakfast. I know what some at my office would say "well it's FRENCH"! I know and that won't happen again.
Seth does have a partial blockage due to surgical complications and we are praying he can hold off until his resection to have everything corrected then. The last thing we want is an additional surgery thrown in. Seth is scheduled to see his surgeon in Iowa City on the 20 for a contrast study and to schedule the Resection, if he has any problems between now and Tuesday then they want him in the clinic on Tuesday in Iowa.
If Seth has another episode like Tuesday night we are to take him to ER, the doctors there will put an NG tube in his stomach and transport his out to Iowa City hospital by ambulance.
PRAY PLEASE!
To ad insult to injury here, I have come down with the flu! I came home Wed. morning from the ER got into bed at 4AM and have only set up in bed twice and had 2 cups of tea and 1 piece of toast since. I think I have to get better to die! My fever has been 101-102 most of the time. Once it breaks I'm sure I'll start feeling better.
Now Jeff started running a fever during the night but had to go into work. He has been in special training all week and has a big test for a certification today. Please pray for him.
Other than all that we are good! Praise be to God that Nick and Noah are fine. Nick is going to be traveling for work Sun-Wed. to Louisiana, please remember him in your prayers as well. We love you all. Vickie
