How awful for you, Amy! What did they discover was the cause of your

vomiting blood?

Glad all is well now and that things are progressing normally. I'm

happy that you're with us.

Best,

They believe a blood vessel in my bowels caused the bleeding. Luckily it

corrected itself

without more surgery. I'm feeling pretty good today. Thanks for all the well

wishes
