Today, November 23, is the eight month anniversary of Master and T's surgeries.
Last evening, about 9:00, Master began complaining that His stomach hurt. And then it hurt worse... and worse... and worse. Finally, we decided to head to the emergency room, arriving there at about 11:00 after a very harrowing drive (during which I had to pull off the road to allow Him to vomit at least three different times). They did two CT scans -- one at midnight, and a second one at 4:00 AM with contrast. At 5:00 this morning, they got Him situated in a room. And at about 7 AM, the doctors decided that He needed emergency surgery to correct an obstruction in His bowel. Apparently, this is another of those rare (less than 1% of cases) complications.
He is in surgery as I type. I've come home to shower, grab some clothes for both of us, and rescue my car out of the repair shop where I dropped it last evening so it could have an oil change. This is the very worst possible timing for such a horrible catastrophe to occur. There is the end of the year stuff with His agency, holidays are upon us, I have parent-teacher conferences for the next three days.
We'll all get through this somehow, but please hold us all (and especially Master) in your thoughts these next few days.

Master's surgery went well. They found a twist in the intestine and removed approximately a foot. They also repaired the hernia that resulted from His wound infections after the bypass surgery. Now we just need to get Him well and back up and going again. They are telling us that He should be home on Thursday or Friday. Thanks for all your good wishes.

I will keep you all, and especially Tom, in my thoughts for a speedy recovery, free of all complications!

Sending lots of strength and courage to you now. Hang in there. Recovery from bowel surgery is never quick. Please keep us posted of Tom's progress.
ReplyDeleteJust checking in. Hope you and t were able to get some sleep last night and that yoru Master finally had some relief! Glad to hear they figured out quickly what the issue was and sounds like they have "fixed" it- although I'm well aware that poor Tom is probably feeling like crap!
