Sleeve complication to a 19 year old

[anayr28 1]

Hi!

I never done this before, not even doing reviews from any thing but I'm going through held with my Dgtr.

My Dgtr had surgery nov 7 2016, evethhing was fine. Dec 2 I brought her back to ER for pain and fever. She had a leak. Dec 2 surgery done, abdominal drain and peg tube inserted. Dec 4 stent.

Dec 9 another surgery, , washout for peritonitis.

Dec 10 hemorrhage ... needed 10 units of blood in 3 hrs, ended up in lung and renal failure. In coma connected to ventilator ( artificial life) for 3 weeks.

Sooooo horrible. Dr's were thinking she will die any minute.

She was transferred to NY hospital, out of the ventilator 2 weeks ago.

We been in the hospital for 3 months. ICU and now regular floor. She is been getting pain med which by now she is depended on it.... Dilaudid

She has s tuve in her nose, abd drain, wound back and the tPN , not eating or drinking , leak still there.

Planning to convert her to bypass from sleeve but they can't do it now until the infection comes down and she recuperates nutritionally, as she ended up with another leak ( 2 leaks now). planning minimum 6 months to a year. She is only 19 years old and planning to stay for a whole year at the Hospital....

She lost her her hair and her voice cause of the intubation......

She didn't have any medical problem before just the weight. She is 5,2 started 240 lbs. now 190 just because of her disease.

Can any one help please.

So sorry I hope she fully recovers . I wouldn't even consider converting the bypass to sleeve at this point. To many risk. Plus she's lost so much weight with the disease . Just focus on her staying healthy. Prayers

I'm not sure what went wrong. However. I'm believing God to turn this situation all around. And it is so in Jesus name! I will keep her in my prayers.
