Well here is an update once again.......

They didnt discharge her and they did an endoscopy and found a gastritis. They are changing up the treatments for her and keeping a watch with her in the hospital still. I will keep you guys posted on whats going on.

Dirk,

It seems good that they found something right? At least now they can treat what seems to be causing all of this.... I hope this is good news for you guys. Good luck & God Bless. Scooter

Yes it is very good that they found something. When they were doing the thingy( Forgot what it is called) they couldnt go all the way into the stomach without hurting her really bad but they seen all that they needed with what they did get to see. So it is looking up somewhat. Now if only the nurses will do their job.

Dennis,
I haven't been on here in a while but prayers are sent your way. Really sounds like your wife has been going through some hard times. Hope she gets better soon.

Sorry guys I totally spaced out and forgot to update this. They did discharge her the next day(after my last update) and the doctors took her off of all meds when she was discharged. She had to go back to urgent care to get more meds due to the pain being unbearable again. She seems to be getting better and the pain not being as bad but it does get pretty bad still. She has yet to try to eat regular food in fear of having another flare up.

Man Dirka I feel for ya. It's gotta suck being so far away and not being able to help.
Well I hope they are on the right track and she keeps getting better.

Talking with her to her yesterday she said that she is able to eat normal foods again but not that many. The meds that she got from urgent care do knock the pain down now so she is more comfy after eating. She starting to get back into the groove and slowly being able to go outside and work on the place doing little things. So things are looking up.

Good News!!!

Well since I started this thread already about the wife I figured I would just giver an update on her health.

Yeah she is having problems again. It is not the same thing as it was back when I started this thread.

She is now back in TN/KY and going down to her doctors in Nashville at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and they found a tumor on her lung when she was back there in Jan time frame. Well last Thursday she had a biopsy and the results said that there were 7 tumors and they were malignant. They want to do surgury with chemo and radiation but she doesnt want to. She still has the ulceritis thingy. She told ne that she ddint want to be sick from the chemo and radiation and that they will aggrivate the ulcers and make her sick even more.

prayers for the wife dirka and godspeed :wink:
