My Mom

[Chandra Amaya]

My thoughts are with you, Janet.

[Janet]

I think we have a little bit of good news. They are finally FINALLY after two years of this, going to run some different test to see if they can find where it is bleeding. The chances are somewhat better because she is still bleeding through her bowels. They will be running this test today and if it comes back negative then they will go ahead with the camera pill. I just pray they find what is causing this. Thanks everyone for your prayers and support.

These new tests are just incredible - the medicos are able to tell so much more about what's going on and then to figure out ways to fix it. Sounds like you lucked into some good ones.

That's good news, Janet. I hope that they can figure out what the problem is and take care of it easily.

[rivermom]

Awesome Janet!!! Still lots of good thoughts being sent your way.

[Gina]

I will keep your mom in my thoughts and prayers that they find the answer to the problem. Then they can help resolve it... Keep us posted.

I just lit a candle for your Mom. I hope the test goes easily for her.

You ladies are so wonderful!

My Mom is still bleeding. They did this scan yesterday and found a good size hole in her colon. This morning I called her and she was just sick and crying a little. She has to drink that 'Go-lite' stuff to clean her out and she's having a hard time getting it down. They are going to do a colonoscopy at 3:00 this afternoon and see if they can repair it that way. If not, they will do surgery to repair it. I hate that she has to go through all this. She's been on a liquid diet since Monday morning and wants real food. She even made the comment that she would just as soon die if she had to keep going through all this.

I feel so bad for her. I wanted to be with her today, but told her she would only be sitting on the toilet. I would rather be with her right before she has the colonoscopy and after it over with so I will come later this afternoon.

Please continue to keep her in your prayers.

My prayers continue for you both Janet.
I'm so sorry she (and you) are going through this.

[DianaB]

Janet, I'm so sorry that you're Mom is having a hard time with this but I'm glad that the doctors finally know what the problem is. She'll be on the road to recovery in no time!!! She's in my prayers.

Imagine that - these scans are really miraculous! I am delighted to hear that you know what's wrong and have a path to follow towards healing for your mother. Those drinks are awful - can't blame her one bit for grousing about it - I am sure your support makes it so much easier to keep going. Hang in there, Janet.

[Mandy]

It must be hard to see your mom go through all of this, but how wonderful they found out where it's coming from, and are able to fix it.
My thoughts, and prayers are still with you, and your mom

Today Mom had a colonoscopy. While up there they found something like a leision that was bleeding. They carterized it and then stapled the hole shut. This morning, after the colonoscopy was done, the surgern said he thinks this has been the source of the bleeding for the last two years. Please pray that it is and now that they've done the procedure she won't be bleeding anymore.

I'm so sorry a lot of words are misspelled, but I just can't think well right now. Thank you all again for holding us close. I truly love you all so much, I just wish I could hug you all.

Did the MD tell you what on Earth would have caused a hole like that?
