Prayers please...
My wife Darlene is going to have emergency surgery this evening .
She had been having stomach problems since Saturday. I took her to the doctor this morning and he had some blood work done. The white cell count was high and she was dehydrated so he told us to go to ER.
At ER they hydrated her and for a cat scan.
Surgeon came in and He said that the cat scan showed that the bowel was basically pinched down. He called it a mechanical blockage. He thought it could be caused by old surgery adhesions. That would be from my wife’s hysterectomy back in her early 30s.
They said no choice but to do the surgery. He said it might be as simple as relieving the adhesions or as much as removing a section of the bowel. He said if it was physiologic it would not be an abrupt pinch.
It looks like it will be after midnight before the surgery is done
We appreciate any prayers and good thoughts.

Prayers for a good outcome!
My dad had a similar thing, an adhesion in the small intestine caused by an old injury. He came through it great--may your wife have the same results.

Surgery is over. She had two adhesions in her pelvic area that was restricting the bowel. Did not have to take out any bowel. He said they took 2 1/2 liters of bile out of her.
She went into surgery at 2:45 am and surgery was over 4:20 am.
She will not be able to eat or drink anything for two days. She has a tube in her nose that goes into her stomach that will be pumping her stomach pretty continuously. She will be fed intravenously and she can have ice chips to chew on. She won’t be a happy camper.
But praise the Lord it has been taken care of and no sectioning of the bowel .
Thanks

In addition to her recent weight loss and her now better attitude I'll bet she will be ready for a trip to Bob Evans.

Thank goodness she will be OK.
My Mom would get ornery after a couple of days in the hospital.

Prayers for a complete recovery and mercies on you as you provide her care during the recovery. That part can be rough, too.
