Her cancer has been progressing fairly quickly and although it hasn't hit any of her major organs yet she has been hospitalized for a bowel obstruction due to a mass pushing on her colon. The doctors have let us know we basically have 2 options. Have surgery that could possibly kill her or let her go home and die.
She chose to go ahead and have the surgery today.
They'll start with trying to put in a stent but if it doesn't work the surgeons will come In and do what they need to do to get rid of the bowel obstruction.
Well guys my mom came out of surgery about an hour ago groggy and vomitting but thankfully and by the grace of God the doctors were able to get two stents in place. We're very excited that she didn't have to undergo major surgery and for the first time in 3 years she was able to have a bowel moment on her own. So very thankful for all the good thoughts and prayers and hope in the days ahead all of our good days always outweigh the bad once. Xoxoxo's to all
Stomach cancer warriors everywhere.

Thursday~
So it's been a few hours since my mom's been back from her stent placement and aside from sleeping and having zero appetite, she's also vomiting all of her by mouth medications.
Doctor ordered an X-ray about an hour ago and said it came back unconcerning but since she's still vomiting have decided to take another X-ray standing up. For the most part she seems to be comfortable pain wise due to the continuous Dilaudid she's receiving via the PCA and is sleeping pretty soundly now.
