Home again from anudder 5 day stay in the hospital

I was checked back into the hospital last Saturday with severe eating issues and placed back on TPN, basically a liquid food that provided all the "stuff" my body needs to survive.

During our stay we got a 2nd opinion on my stoma and the Doc actually examined it, imagine the concept. He felt it does not need to be redone at this time....answered prayer!!!!!!!

My wound and ostomy site are healing very well to the surprise of my Onc. He still feels there is cancer in my abdomen. While I am recovering we are going to Wake Forrest to explore HIPEC.

Please contine to remember us in prayer as we continue to fight this beast.

Believe,

Kevin

More prayers please....

I went to see the wound therapy doc today for the infection in my abdomen that developed while still in the hospital. The orginal tunnel, thought to be 3cm is now 18 cm deep. I have the funk growing again. A culture was taken today to see what meds I need to be on.

Issue number 2, I am having so ostomy issues. My stoma has pulled away from the skin. I may be facing anudder surgery in the next few days to correct the issue.

Believe,

Kevin

A new update

A lot has happened in the last few months, I really dont know where to start.

Brenda, her sister, nephew and her boyfriend headed to FL for a little bit of rr 3 weeks ago. I was not able to eat on Saturday, it felt like my stomach was full all the time.

On Sunday, I had some appetite meds called into Fl from Cancer Center here. They did not help. Brenda checked me into Cocoa Beach Hospital. DX was dehydration and naseua. I was given fluid and meds. They released me to take the cruise.

On Monday we boarded the boat and left for the Carribbean. All week I was still unable to eat.....my stomach felt it was full all the time. Most everything I ate or drank I threw up.

By Thursday I was a basket case. Friday when we got off the ship, we call Cancer Center and was told to double time it back to NC.

After an 11 hour drive, we pulled into the house and I was rushed to the ER. I was admitted right off the bat. No tests could be done due to my body condition. On Sunday, I had a ct scan, Monday a MRI, xray Tuesday and Wednesday.

With 5 docs on my team, none could pinpoint what was going on. Finally my surgeon and the radiologist got in sync. It seemed my colon was blocked with scan tissue. So I met with the surgeon on Thursday and was scheduled for emergency surgery on Friday the 24th.

Once opened up, several blockages were found and corrected. It was a 5hr surgery about the same as the last one. I was finally sent home last night and now I recovering at home.

I think God for the doc's getting together, that blockage was some of the worst pain I have ever experienced.
