NWR...FFIL is in the hospital...UPDATED!!!

GREAT NEWS! Poppy had stones...not cancer! He needs to have his gall bladder removed. FH and I just got back from seeing him at Brookhaven. He's groggy from the anesthesia and hungry (he hasn't eaten since Saturday morning)...he'll be in the hospital for a few more days. Just wanted to share the great news! We're all very relieved!!! Thank you all for the prayers and kind words!!! You're wonderful!!!

He's been having chronic hiccups for months now that have been getting progressively worse to the point that he can't eat. Last night they got so bad he was vomitting and got jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) and he passed out and was taken to Brookhaven ER by ambulance. Tests show he could have problems with his liver or pancreas. His liver isn't enlarged, thank God. His skin is starting to return to normal. His blood work is coming back abnormal. Tomorrow he'll have more extensive testing done. It could be stones, it could be cancer...they don't know yet. Get this...he's been in a room in the ER since yesterday and they don't think he'll have a REAL room for about 6 days!!! AND my FMIL is an RN!!!

Please say a little prayer for 'Poppy'!!! Thanks all!

that's horrible! I wonder why they can't give him a room??? I hope he gets well soon--your family are in my prayers.
