Please keep my brother in your thoughts and prayers. I haven't mentioned it before but he has not been able to keep food down for almost 3 months now. He has lost 70 pounds -- which he needed to -- but starvation is not the way to do it. He has been in the Emergency Room so many times getting bags of fluid to keep him alive. FINALLY (4th doctor) found that he has a hernia in his stomach and a gall bladder about to explode with stones and a fistule (I've looked it up on the internet and it has a couple of definitions.) But what has happened in him is that his stomach and attached itself to another organ. The poor guy is so miserable. Today he started vomiting blood. He has vomited so much that he's got broken blood vessels in his throat. He is going to the hospital again in the morning and if all goes well, he will have surgery tomorrow. He is Dadcat to Miss Cinnabuns and Grey Boy. Please cross your fingers and paws that he will soon be back happy and healthy. Thank you.
