Hi Every ..hope yall are at least comfy today..OI just wanted to let you
know how Bobbi is doing..
The Dr came today while Richard and i were visiting..and he said that he
was able to run the scope all the way to Bobbis small intestine which is
a good thing..no obstructions..but when the Dr who took part of her
colon out..resected it in a very strange way which will probably cause
her some difficulty from now on....but not a whole lot..and that her
elimination time was pretty long..causing some distress..but he said he
could find no maajor reason for so much pain and the chronic diarrea..so
he thinks that possibly it is an over abundance of bacteria...that
causes a gas to form..and therefore a slimy type substance..and the end
result is chronic diarrea..and terrible pain..
So he is going to start a regimine of antibiotics..and some other meds
to try to get this slowed down..(he said in any other circumstance he
would do surgery) but with Bobbi already having had so many surgerys and
her problem with adhesions that was out of the question...
Meanwhile they are giving her demerol and phenergan every 2 hours..and
this help but does not ever completely stop the pain....so they are
thinking of trying something else...to try and get her completely comfy
for now.
She is also running a low grade fever right now..
The Dr said he wont even consider sending her home until he can get some
of these symptoms stabilized..and find a way to get her comfy..
She sure doesnt feel very good..right now bless her heart..so lets keep
praying for her ok...
I just dont know if i will be able to go and visit her tomorrow..all of
this running around etc is getting me down..so i may rest tomorrow..but
my family will visit her anyway..
I am taking each and every one of yalls emails to Bobbi....your well
wishes..so please keep them coming they really do brighten the day for
her..so keep sending them to my personal email ok..
much Love and hugs to all..
Tish
