Guest guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 anita .. the doc is just playing it safe...he was concerned when he first sent her home .. she will be in hospital about a week and i will be doing the feedings once she is at home .. i will put a hook in the ceiling above the bed.. and viola .. dinner is served.. smile... oh believe me she lets them know whenever she needs more pain meds than they are already giving her .. that is the same messages theresa gives to everyone she talks to that is going in for surgery... dont be afraid to ask for more.. be sure to demand a trapeze on the bed to make getting up easier .. hold a pillow on your tummy if you need to cough etc..etc etc.. smile..thank you for your prayers and hugs.. thomas > > > hi everyone .. thomas here .. theresa's husband ..she went in to > > have > > > that opening out of her stomache expanded today ... afterward she > > was > > > in a great deal of pain .. then went and did a leak test ... it > > > seemed the stretching caused a small leak ... they called jossart > > and > > > she was in surgery at six pm .. she had to have an open to get in > > > well the doc said there was a rush of air when he opened her and > > then > > > he tested with air and tested blue dye and tested with blue dye > > again > > > and then a third time.. but the leak seemed to have closed but he > > > reinforced the entire area with body glue anyway ..after surgery > > she > > > had a gastric tube up her nose .. and dr jossart has put in a > > feeding > > > tube in her side and she had the drain lines out of the other > > side.. > > > n.. theresa well have to be fed thru the tube for about a month ... > > > anyway ..needless to say she is not a happy camper.. thats about > > > it .. she is in icu for now .. we will see what happens > > tomorrow..... > > > i will fill you all in when next i get a chance.
