Guest guest Posted September 18, 1999 Report Share Posted September 18, 1999 Just wanted to touch base and let everyone know that Branden has been pretty sick the past week. He has pneumonia and has started throwing up again- not supposed to be doing this because he's had a Nissen. He's not tolerating anything at all, so our surgeon had me bring him up to the hospital yesterday and they placed a GJ tube in him so that we can totally bypass the stomach in order to prevent any further damage being done to his Nissen and to get some nutrition into him. We hope that we can remove the GJ tube once this crisis has passed, but the surgeon couldn't promise anything right now. The one thing I'm pretty sure of is that we're headed back to the OR for a Nissen redo at somepoint. He'll be having an Upper GI once he's healed from the pneumonia. I'll try to keep you all posted as much as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
