my brother whos been in a medically induced coma since june 22nd, is having more surgery tomorrow. evidently there is a gland that produces a hormone that is overproducing stomach acids...so while they go into his neck to place a tracheotomy tube to avoid damaging his vocal cords from the ventilator, they are also going to surgically remove the gland. since he has developed some blood clots in his lungs, he was placed on blood thinners (because anticoagulants would have made him bleed out from the major surgery) but tonight they are stopping them so they can perform the surgery tomorrow. they are also going to place a filter to prevent a blood clot traveling to his heart during surgery as well. this should help darick heal a little better and hopefully avoid more complications. (crossing fingers) the surgery will last a few hours and hes scheduled to enter at 1pm. i will be at the hospital after 1pm as i have an appointment from 12pm to 1pm. then when i get home tomorrow night, i will update and let you all know how darick is doing!! please keep praying!!
thanks tina
