Throwing up blood doesn't sound right? That'd be a serious cause for concern. Speak to your doctor ASAP!

You can't treat throwing up blood with prayer. You need medical help or at least consultation for that. Call your surgeon. I know it is the weekend but he should have an after hours answering service that can get in touch with him.

He is coming to the hospital to see me

I hope things are ok. Be sure to keep us posted.

I am ok. They had to change my pain med from dilaudid to morphine because it wasn't lasting long. I'm not on ibuprofen every 6 hours which is the only thing that has been helping with. I have not thrown up blood since last night. I did throw up today but it was broth. No blood thank God. I'm really really sore and I'm drinking hot broth to bring the gas up. Thank you so much for asking.

The first 24-48 hours after are the worst - but it gets better! Just hang in there! I had to stop taking the dilauded because it made me vomit. I'd throw up almost instantly. Glad you're on morphine now - which is actually less strong. Dilauded is 8 times stronger than morphine, but it does wear off quickly (for me anyway).
