Today, my mom is having corrective surgery to fix the hianal (sp?) hernia that's causing nerve damage to her stomach. She's also getting gastic bypass surgery (yes, corrective as well). Both of those combined should help fix the problem of her throwing up all the time. This has been a problem for over three years.
The problem was, she was constantly puking and it has sent her to the ER numerous times. There was no pattern in any of it(Broccoli was fine one day and the next it sent her to the ER) and no medicine that would fix the problem.
She should be getting out of surgery relatively soon. I am expecting an update from my dad. I will update as soon I get more info!
Updated: Mom got out of surgery after going in an hour late and staying an hour longer than originally thought. In any case, she is doing well. She's kind of loopy and can't hold the phone for very long. She should be out of the hospital on Saturday and Sunday. The pooches and ferret should be uber glad to see her.
UPDATED again: Mom should be coming home tomorrow. She is still a bit loopy but nothing like she was the other day. It's a four hour drive from the Portland to Pendleton but said she doesn't know if she'll be able to sit up that long and they may have to stop in The Dalles (halfway) for the night. Willy, Trix, and Little Dog will be going home from the vet clinic on Monday. Hoorah! Oh, and she had some orange jell-o which she was extremely excited about for some reason. o_O
