Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Hello everyone, Just wanted to let ya know what is going on with Floyd. We got a call on June 7th that his brother had been killed in a car accident! We headed to NY the same day where his family is. He handled the trip ok, but the stress of why we were here has caused problems. he is currently in the hospital for the 2nd time, his stomach is not draining right. It keeps filling with bile and causing pain. The doctors here were hesitant to do anything invasive, they wanted to get him well enough to travel and send him home. This does not look like it is going to happen. At present he has an NG tube in and the drainage he has been getting without eating is to high, at 5am they got 350ml which is too much. Tomorrow they are having him see a gastro doctor and will probably do a scope to see what is going on. While they are in there they will place a feeding tube, he is down to 111 lbs now ( I have turned the newsletter off for now, but am occasionally checking my e-mail. I will try and keep ya updated as things progress. Just wanted y'all to know why we have not been on. God Bless all and may you all have pain free days .. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
