Felix went into ER again on Monday the 13th because he was spitting up bile and didn’t feel good. The day before he went to ER because an intestine had come out through his hernia (that he has had for years) and he couldn’t get it back in like he has done for years. The hernia is just above his navel.
On Monday they kept him and operated on the hernia at 9 pm. There was a blockage and they operated in time so here was no blood loss damage to the intestine.
Today (Wednesday 12/15) he is still in the hospital. He still has the tube in his nose that pumps the bile from his stomach. He is on IV glucose because his stomach and intestines are not ‘working properly’ yet and he can’t eat.
Melanie has been with him 24.7 and says she is still wearing Monday’s clothes. She reports he is breathing very shallow and complains that he can’t get enough air, yet his oxygen level remains high. He is very weak and doesn’t want to talk on the phone. Melanie reports that he feels worse today and is weaker than yesterday.
The therapist comes in and gets him up because they don’t want pneumonia to develop in his lungs.
I’ll pass on more when I have it.
