I took the day off of work to spend up here with my grandmother. My aunt has been staying up here a lot and she really needed to go in and get some work done today. I'll be working late on Thur. and Fri. and then going in again on Saturday to finish out my 40 hrs.The above picture was taken back in May, she was on her way to church. She still could use some prayers. We now know that the excessive vomitting and stomach pain was coming from a blocked small intestine. She was placed on a bunch of pain pills when she came in because her Diverticulitis had flared up. Well all of those pills caused her to get Ileus; which as described by her DR this AM her Colon is basically paralyzed right now. To get it healed they are having to take her off of all of her pain medicines, and hopefully it "wakes up" again soon. She is starting to get really uncomfortable right now, stomach is really sensitive, she's moaning through the pain again etc. They have a tube down her nose and into her stomach right now to try and suck out everything that's in there. Please pray the colon starts working properly soon...
