Becky was admitted on the 5th because of extreme vomiting. At home she was vomiting every 15 minutes. She vomited every hour (sorry if this is to graphic) yesterday, but has not as much today. Last night the doctor ordered a CT of her abdomen & head (she had a severe headache, light & noise sensitivity). The CT showed that she had a bowel obstruction in her transverse colon. That answers ssoo much about the nausea and vomiting. The doctor said he is going to try some shots to help things pass along, because right now it is not severe enough for surgery or a NG tube (NasoGastric Tube that goes into the stomach to drain the fluid so she stops vomiting). That is good news. Bowel obstructions are very painful, especially with all the other things going on with her causing pain. I think, in my very unprofessional opinion, that the extreme headache, light & noise sensitivity was related to her pain medicine being significantly & suddenly being reduced, but thats just my opinion.
Hopefully now that we know what this admission problem is she will be headed home soon. Mom & Becky are still headed to Mayo clinic on the 14th, God willing.
Thank you again so very much for your encouragement and prayers!! Please continue to do so, our God is big and hears our prayers
On behalf of the family,
Mary
