Dad's in the hospital
I just got a call from my mom. My dad came home from work today for lunch complaining about an upset stomach. When he went back to work, he was violently ill and started puking up blood. He lost so much blood that he passed out. An ambulance had to come take him to the hospital and he couldn't even sit up without passing out because his blood pressure was so low.
The cardiologist spent many hours testing him and it turns out the ticker is OK, but there is internal bleeding that they haven't been able to narrow down yet. He's on blood transfusion to get the pressure back up, then they're going to test him (tube down the throat, etc) overnight and diagnose what is wrong. I hope he's ok... I love you, Dad. I wish I wasn't so far away.

Man I am sorry to hear about your dad. I dunno if I can conclude about the Ulcer (maybe a severe kind???)...
Hope it doesn't get passed an Ulcer... and your dad gets well very soon.

Ulcer
He has a bleeding ulcer and maybe more than one. I know by first hand experience. Another contributor can be a condition in the esophagus called "Barretts Esophagus" caused by years of reflux disease. Sorry to hear it and hope he responds to treatment. Aspirin can definitely aggravate the condition even if it does not cause it.

Ya, the GI guy figures it's multiple bleeding ulcers. Good times. It's still kinda major, but at least it's not life-threatening as far as I know.

No question about it, bleeding ulcers can kill ya. We lost a family member at age 41 to this condition. Hope your dad makes a speedy recovery & the Dr's. help alleviate this.

Yes bleeding ulcers can be deadly. I lost my favorite uncle to one or maybe several, he was only 44 years old. This was a while back and he would have martini's after work, eat rich foods etc ...
I hope your father gets out of there soon. I hope he begins to recover rapidly. I hope he follows his doctors orders and the diet prescribed as well. Best wishes. |
