Re: Prayers for my very sick brother.

He is doing pretty good today. He has had his large intestine removed and his colon. He know has a bag and is sore as hell from having all his insides pulled out. His recovery is slow but is overall doing pretty good. He had a drainage bulb fromn the surgery, a cathader, NG nose tube down his throat, IV's, and the colostomy bag, and oxygen. What a mess! I haven't been awake that long in all my life. He had to have medicine every 10 to 15 minutes for the last 4 days 24 hours a day. My family is just ragged from being up for days straight. Hopefully it's the begining of the end. Thanks for your prayers guys. Yesterday he blacked out, and turned green as grass and his lips went blue, I thought he was going to stroke out, but we got the nurse and on more oxygen and an IV injection to bring his heart rate up. I'm glad My sister in law is a nurse and I've worked in medical for 8 years, but it was really scary when it is one so close to home. Thanks everyone.
