My kids are older, but I still feel bad about leaving my 16yr old to learn how hard it is to have to do everything for herself. She is doing very good for the stress she has been under. They all have been through a lot.

An ER trip turned from what my husband thought was the stomach flu to you need emergency surgery and a 3 day hospital stay. "Which he wanted to sign himself out than, and I threw a fit till he agreed to stay"!

They did blood work which detected elevated Liver enzymes, and they said if he would have stayed home one more day he would have died.

So they did scans and said it was a 1 in a million kinda thing where his Gallbladder had stones and some moved into the Liver and blocked the Duct to his Small Intestine. So he needed his Gallbladder removed, but they needed to do an ERCP first to remove the stones from the Liver before they moved into the Pancreas and killed him. They had to special order the instrument and went through his mouth and down through the stomach and through the small intestine up to the liver..shot in dye and seen a large stone blocking the end and a bunch of small ones and fragments behind it. They removed them and put in a stent in his Liver.

The next evening they went in to remove the Gallbladder but couldn't tell the difference between his scar tissue in the gall ducts and his blood vessels so they had to do the old fashion cut from the top in between his ribs all the way to his waist at the side "28 staples"  

They gave antibiotics for this 2 hr and 15 min. surgery and he suddenly woke with Pnuemonia so they gave more antibiotics and then they said he had C- Diff so it got even more complicated..than his kidney's quit from the antibiotics.

After 5 rounds of Dialysis it looks like his kidneys are finally trying *PRAYERS* 

Its just been one horrible nightmare, and he almost died...But he didn't and I can't wait to be home as a family.
