Thank you, everyone! Turns out they're at a hospital very close to me so I stopped in to check on the family. He's on morphine for the pain and ativan, plus a bunch of other stuff for the severe nausea. He's off all his psychiatric medications now and when the Ativan wears off his anxiety goes sky high. He's not too happy about mom going home to rest tonight while dad takes over sleeping on the cot next to him. My kiddos are putting together some gameboy games to loan him while he's stuck in there. It's going to be several days at least before he'll be released. They're doing an IBD panel on Monday to see if he's got the antibodies that would be indicative of Crohn's... I'm hoping that's not the case, but with his genes (both his mom and aunt have it) the cards are stacked against him.
Keep those prayers comin'!
