Frangipani Report post Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) <'> <'> Amanda and family <'> <'> Time truly helps to ease the pain.... I have read Kubler Ross books about grieving - they really helped me. She describes all the emotions going on at the moment. Its a process I found hard to grasp without her help. Take care <'> One day at a time.

Amanda32 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) Things are starting to be put in place with what happened to my son with the GP that examined him that morning. She is a lovely Dr and very caring we had over an hr of her time today even though she had surgery to go to, she didn't mind. What she said was that that adesions started off then started another problem then another which shut his bowels down. Basically what she told us was if it was the large bowel you can get signs of problems but has he had problems with the small bowel you wouldn't notice it just look like a stomach bug. The large bowel could give you a matter of hours ans may get surgery in time but the small bowel going is instant so he wouldn't of suffered. If in the past he did end up having surgery (ace procedure) they may have seen it and treated it. Too be honest it wouldn't of lasted long as she said that the more surgery he had the worse things would of got as the bowels sort of stuck together perhaps knotted or twisted and that led to lack of blood supply to the organs. Personally if it was found I would of turned the operation down as to have him having surgery after surgery would of been painful and upsetting and it wouldn't of been fare to him to suffer your just keeping him alive really maybe for another few months, weks then have another op agin and again I couldn't do that. Nobody would of none this was going to happen they only notice when he had a post mortem. All operations comes with a risk and his insides couldn't deal with it anymore. We had a letter yesterday from the genetics people for him to see them about further testing that was done. They rang and I told her, which she was shocked nothing else came up but if we wanted to see all the paperwork on all the tests they did with chromosomes we could. Anyway feeling a little better knowing more about the jargon the docs use and understanding everything etc. Thanks Amandaxxxxx Edited January 10, 2008 by Amanda32 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

purplegail Report post Posted January 11, 2008 Dear Amanda I have only just seen this post. I don't know what to say except my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You are obviously a very strong person but don't be too strong - it's important to grieve. Don't just leave - there are many people here who would want to support you whenever you need it.
