Dear Cyn
So sorry that Rick needs to be back in the hospital, but glad that it is making a positive difference in how he feels.
No one likes to be in hospital but some times that is the best place to be to get the care necessary.
Praying for easy days for you both and good outcome from his and your surgery next week.
Hugs,

The right place
A bit likeDoc who probably stayed at home fighting his pneumonia a bit long there comes a time when you have to accept that hospital is the right place to get things sorted properly. I hope that happens for you and he stays in gets the stent and repeated obstructions ar sorted once and for all. Anyone who likes being in hospital probably shouldn't be there but tolerating it when necessary is part of this journey.
Best of luck,
Steve0 -

Seems he is where he needs to be right now, and they'll have him feeling stronger for the upcoming procedure. Sucks to be sitting in hospital. I'm wondering too about the stent, is it his bowels that keep getting obstructed, why is this happening?? Take care of yourself too.0 -

That's so hard to fight not to go to the hospital because you dread it that bad but can see where he is coming from and glad that they are helping him. Hopefully the blockage will resolve itself with all the fluids that he is on. Wishing you both the best. He's in good hands now and now can keep a good eye on him.

Right Place
Although there is a dread of hospitals for most of us it can be the best place for us at times. You can not hook up an IV at home and if he is not holding fluids otherwise there is no real option. I think that the good news is you both seem to be fighters and there is every reason to be hopeful the blockage may resolve on its own with fluids he is receiving and if it does not he is where he needs to be to get assistance.
By the way I personally hate hospitals and it takes a lot to get me to go as well.
Hugs of comfort and healing for you and your loved one.0 -

The obstructions seem to
Hi,
The obstructions seem to be from scar tissue in the colon. He's pretty much blocked completely up at this point, so not even water is getting through without pain. He originally had a resection only, with no colostomy bag since his colon was working pretty well until this past April. He's been in the hospital four times since then.
Thank you for your best wishes,

Hi all,
Thank you for all
Hi all,
Thank you for all for your prayers and well wishes, it's so much appreciated. I read all of your posts to Rick earlier today, and he smiled at all of the kindness shown in your words. When I left him last night, I had hoped that he'd get some sleep, but he barely slept at all due to having constant hiccups. They gave him some Thorazine for them this afternoon, and it cleared them up in under 10 minutes! It comes in pill form, so if anyone is having hiccup issues, you might want to ask your doctor for some of these little "miracle" pills. He looked much better today than he did last night, so the fluids and pain meds are really helping. A few more days of IV fluid, and he should be strong enough to have the stent procedure.
All my best,

I hope Rick feels better. Fluids can do wonders. Hiccups can really be a b**** when you're trying to sleep. Maybe he can get rest tonight and get his stent and back home with you.
