Just got a call this evenin from my brother. Dad was at the emergency room at their lil home town hospital, and they'd done xrays on his abdomen. He was having severe abdominal pain. As we were talking, the Dr came out and said it looked like dad had a perforated bowel??? And that he needed rushed to Midland. So....off they went.
I just talked to my brother a lil bit ago. The daggum ambulance broke down on the side of the road, and they had to get the Midland fire dept, to come get dad and take him on to the hospital. So far they haven't done anything there. Have dad waitin in an exam room. Supposed to do chest and abdominal xrays again there.
Keep him in your prayers......He's 500 miles away and sure could use a lil help from the Man upstairs right now.
 
I Sure do hope everything works out Lilly. My thoughts are with you and yours.
 
I'll be praying for you tonight at bedtime. After all, being a young fella doesn't take away from the power of prayer. :D
 
They haven't done anything as of a few minutes ago. This is gettin downright rediculous. I was talkin to sis n law when my brother called her, she switched over to him, and told him, if they don't do somethin soon, his sis (me) is gonna drive 500 miles, and blow in with blonde hair flyin, and have a fit at the hospital till somethin's done LOL

They said they were waitin on an operating room to be cleared out. Ya can't tell me there's not been one open since last night about 10pm. :mad:
 
Ok thanks to all ya'lls prayers, he's doin lots better now. They got him into surgery around 2 pm this afternoon. He did have a hole in his small intestine, but wasn't caused by what they thought at first. (diverticulitus)...instead he had an ulcerated intestine which had gotten so bad that it had eaten thru the wall of the intestine. They went in, closed up the hole, and then done major flushing of his body cavity. I talked to him on the phone about 5 pm and he said he was feeling lots better, still hurt, but no where near like before surgery. He'll be in the hospital a week or so on some major antibiotics, and a liquid diet LOL But he'll be ok. Whewwww!!!! Thanks again for all your prayers.
 
So glad that your dad is doing better now...I know being that far away is frustrating for ya...It's a good thing that the Drs. got their act together,,cause just the thought of you "blonds" entering the scene would of scared me...lol I'll sure keep "dad" in my thoughts as he gets to feeling better...
 
Thank the Lord: this is definitely the century to live in when it comes to treatments for perforated bowel.
