Prayers appreciated
 

My oldest son is waiting on exploratory surgery. He is having bleeding inside his body from what I'm hearing. I've got a part of the kids, and am waiting till the parents return and I can pick up Derrick to go to the hospital.

Not sure when surgery will be either.

You've definitely got my prayers for your son. I pray for nothing serious. I pray for safety and skill in the surgeon's hands. And I pray for health for your boy.

Hugs and blessings for all of you.

Donna, you have my prayers for you and your son. I pray it isn't anything serious.

You are in my thoughts and I will be praying and hoping all goes well and he is on the road to recovery soon.

God Speed.

Lots of big bear cyber hugs, Nikko:hug:

Hi,
I hope that you get some hopeful news.

Well its a wait till tomorrow it seems. Not sure what is up.

But from what I know at this time. I"m guessing they had to do more
testing and maybe he was very dehydrated.

So that they had to do IV today. My husband spent the evening with
him, which he really appreciated. This was so good for him.

I'm so glad he did this for him. They really have bonded so much more
in the last few years. And its shown so much. So it makes it so
nice.

I'm so impressed that for once I could depend on him to go sit with one
of our son's instead of me.

Donna

Hi,
Your husband is a good man.
I hope that you can be calm until you get clearer news.
Mari

Donna,

You have my prayers It is good that your husband and his son are bonding.

I am glad your husband is there and helping you through this.

Hopefully it is just from dehydration and nothing more.

Please keep us posted.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I'll keep you and your family in my prayers Donna, you hang in there. I pray that things become clearer soon. Keep us posted on what happens. :)

I am worried for you and your family. Do they know any more yet?

I am so sorry your son is ill. I will keep you all in my thoughts.

Sorry it took so long for a update. But they didn't get started till 1pm.
And after I finally got home. Derrick was on the computer, then we
went to get some supper.

Danny has Inflamatory Bowel Disease. And the culture is out. But its believed the specific one is ulcerative colitis. ANd this is probably the
best of the things it could be from the sounds of it.

THey had told him it could be colon cancer so of course they had him
scared out of his wits. And I am just thinking his poor lady, had no
sleep last night either.

But anyway, they are doing a IV of steroids which as they put it The good
steroids, and then they will do pill steroids. And from what the doctor
said to me I believe both of these will be in the hospital. And I'm not sure
how long before they allow home. I even got a slight filling the new medicine
after steroids might be started before they let out. But that is just my opinion as mom.

I felt kind of bad for his lady, because they have been together for so many
years. And the doctor came in wanting to know who mom was. And
I could just feel her let down. But I realize she shouldn't because she has
had the option of marriage, and maybe this will be what it takes to finish
that now.

I'm hoping so. They have talked about it, but the time just has never happened.

Hmmm, maybe now it will.

Donna

Hi,

The dx sounds uncomfortable requiring close dr attention but I'm thinking that this is not as bad as you thought.

Anyway, you made me smile with your talk of marriage. Only a mother can be like that -- thinking about her son needing to get married when he is dealing with drs and dx's. ;) You are a great mother and he should listen to you. :):)


I'm glad to hear from the tone of your post that you think he is going to be all right now. That is very good news.

Mari

Donna...You and your son are in my thoughts and prayers tonight!:hug:

thanks for the update donna,
it sounds like many questions have been answered....he sounds like he is in good hands.
((((HUGS))))

Will Dale and I have felt or known for years now that Jessica is Danny's
better half. And that its Danny's dearest wish to get married.

She promised that after he got a job with insurance that she would marry
him. Will he has that job and loves it. And I don't believe that after this
bout its in jeopardy. Because her mother works at the same place he
does. And when the nurse called him in to tell them he was being admitted
to the hospital so it wasn't known when he could return to work.

Everyone on his third shift job, which she works 1st shift was coming to her wanting to know what was up. They had known that for 3 weeks he wasn't
feeling well and that he had a pass to stay home if needed the two weeks
this being the last.

But this was quite a shock, and her mother had no answers because no one knew they were going to ER or that he would be admitted.

Donna

Thinking of you......keeping you and your family in my prayers daily.

Hang tight, but go easy.;)

Take care, lots of hugs, Nikko:hug::hug::hug::hug:

Thanks for the update Donna,
How is it going today?
hopefully he will be home before the weekend.

Mrs. Doubtfire posted this on another forum:
About neurocardiogenic syncope:

http://www.medhelp.org/forums/cardio...ges/32270.html

And this one has references to other websites:

http://www.medhelp.org/forums/cardio...ges/33169.html
Paxil (generic - paroxetine) is a member of the serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of drugs. These drugs are used to treat depression but they are also active in treating neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS). Serotonin is involved in many cardiovascular reflexes including the ones responsible for NCS. Some studies have indicated that the SSRI's decrease the frequency of symptoms in patients diagnosed with NCS. For this reason it is sometimes used as treatment.

have you ever heard of this before?

Nice to hear some good news. Glad he is home and doing well.
