Hi everyone, I happy to post that I am definitely doing better. I am still in hospital, however I am able to tolerate liquids going down. I had so many issues through all of this, that I am unsure how to feel about it all. I am just glad I can now swallow something. The next journey is staying hydrated. We must focus on this at all times.....very important as I found out. Long story short, I ended up having a hernia, in which they repaired, however it somehow became obstructed. Not being able to get anything into the stomach caused all the resulted problems. My journey is far from over, but God has my hand, leading me through it.
