Kenny Update.

I just got back from the hospital. My brother is not having pain like he had when he went into the hospital yesterday, but the tube they have in him that goes from his nose to his stomach/intestines to pump out the contents,some of which is bile, is hurting him a bit. If he talks, that tube REALLY hurts. Kenny is not allowed to eat or drink, so he has an IV for hydration also. Kenny had another x-ray earlier, but no results on anything yet. They know he has a blockage, but the exact location and nature of the blockage has not been determined. They are speculating it is scar tissue. Where he has had the extreme pain and the suspected blockage is NOT a previous surgery site.

I am very worried his cancer has come back in a different location. My brother cannot eat very much, as he gets sick. He is only 153 pounds, too light for someone who is 6'2". His guts never started to work normally again after they reconnected them, even though the surgeon said they would in a couple of months. Now the surgeon said it could take 2 years for his guts to work normally again. He is constantly in the bathroom, as anything he eats or drinks goes through him in 10 minutes to an hour. This has made him home bound for the most part, unless there are bathrooms available very close to where he might be. His quality of life is not real good, to say the least.

I will keep you all updated. Thank you for the prayers.
