This time no one is liking what the docs are saying.
UPDATE: I just talked to Brother, who is NOT an hysterical basket case like Elder Sister, and got the full story.
Overnight, Mom's blood pressure dropped, and the medicine they gave her pulled the blood from her extremities.
Unfortunately, the stoma (which is medspeak for the hole they just made to attach the colostomy bag) is an extremity, and being newly formed, it died due to the lack of blood flow.
So, Mom is going back into surgery to fix that, and anything else they find, and then hopefully we will be back on the road to recovery.
Everything seems to happen when I leave to go back home. I guess I will just have to stay this time until she is on her way back to Iowa.
