Anyone having surgery in Oct ?

[395Ron 396]

Hi This is Ron wife Sherry. . I wanted to post on here to you guys it was very important to him that I post to you guys so I wanted to make sure I didn't forget.

He has gone thru the surgery and the day after he was doing great but started throwing up that night so they did a cat scan to see why and he had a kink in the intestine so they took him back to surgery and fixed that however while in surgery not sure if it was the 1st or 2nd surgery but he got sick while in surgery and tried to throw up but couldn't with the tu e down his throat and it went back down into his lungs this is called aspiration. It is very serious condition where the acids from the stomach contents can burn and damage the lungs which is what happened. He was taken to another hospital for a few hours then flown to the university of Maryland shock tram unit (LUNG UNIT) he has been on a machine that pumps blood thru his lungs to help heal his lungs . And is on oxygen to help him breathe. He is in very serious condition however we are hopeful that he will recover.But it will take time we are not sure how long .so if you don't hear from him that is why..if you have any questions please email me at slyliston2000@yahoo.Com as I won't see any posts here to tell you how he is doing and I'm not sure who all he was friends with and please pray for him that he gets thru this ty all so much for the support you all gave him during his research of his surgery and helping him prepare for it

I believe I am finally back on track! It was a pretty rough go for a few days but today has been a much better day. I have managed to get about 45 grams of Protein in so far but having more trouble with Water. The bloat is awful. I swear I can feel Fluid backing up my throat. I know I need to be moving around more but have created a "nest" in my living room and tend to stay there a lot. Do you both have Facebook? I tend to be on there a lot and would love to keep up with you both there as well!! My facebook is Edie Smith Steer edie091371@yahoo.com

How are you both doing?

@ the rest of our October family. Sorry I fell off the radar. I suppose it was a little harder process then I thought it would be. I hope you are all wonderful and I hope you each are finding your way successfully thru your journeys.
