Home again!!! again!!!!

Landon came home once again today. He has developed another fistula and will have to have the wound care nurse to come twice weekly to take care of the open incision. Please keep him in your prayers and pray for complete recovery.

Another bump in the road

We brought Landon to our house last Tuesday after he got out of the hospital. Even though he had abdominal drains and iv antibiotics, he seemed to be doing well until Friday. He was retaining food, etc. Friday his drains started filling up. We took him home and flew to Odessa on Sat. morning.
On Sat. evening he called and had talked to the dr. and they said there was leakage somewhere, and another fistula was there and his incision would open and he would have to go back to the hospital.
That is where we are today. He is in North Cypress Medical center and awaiting further news.
At this point we don't know if they will let it run its course, or if they will try to operate and repair it. We are strictly in the hands of God. We covet and appreciate your prayers. Ronna needs strength and wisdom and Landon needs patience and healing.

Home again!!!!

We are enjoying some time with Landon since he left the hospital yesterday. The drs said the obstruction was gone and we know why. Thank you for all your prayers. He still has drains and iv's but is retaining small amounts of food. We are sooooo thankful for his progress. Please pray for complete recovery.

Just Waiting

Landon is still in the hospital. His blood count was up a point today so still no transfusion.
He is walking and on pain meds. Still no ng tube for which he is thankful. We are still trusting the obstruction will take care of itself with the help of the Almighty.

Two steps forward, Three steps back

Landon's stay at home was short lived. He went to e r last night and was re-admitted to the hospital. His blood count is down to seven and he will possibly have to have a transfusion. They are saying he has an obstruction. We are praying there will not have to be another surgery.
Blessings to all who are supporting us in prayer.

He's Home!!!!!!

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and concern. After 2 and one half weeks in the hospital this time, he got to go home today. The c t scan revealed an abscess in the abdomen, thus the temp, etc. They inserted another drain tube in his abdomen and put in a pic line for IV antibiotics.
He will have to be on them 6 to 8 weeks at home.
We are thankful he has no open wound this time and praying he will completely recover.
He is an awesome young man with so much talent.
Blessings to all who read this...

Thank God the N G tube is gone!!!

Dr. Lava took the n g tube out on Tuesday. His warning to expect complications again this time has been more than true.
The c t scan showed fluid and they have put in drains to drain out the fluid and run cultures.
An abcess was found, thus the cause of the temperature. At least he can have liquids now and eat a soft diet.
They will insert a pic line tomorrow so that when his temp is gone, he can go home with i v antibiotics.
Thanks for all your prayers and support.

CT Scan today

Landon spent a restless night last night and then they came to take him downstairs for c t at 6a.m.
The dr has been taking xrays everyday and his bowel is still distended so he ordered at c t scan today.
Landon is wanting the n g tube out so badly, but they cannot take it out until they find out what is going on.
They found fluid in his abdomen and pelvic area. We don't know if it is an abcess or what???? The doctor did not come back after he looked at the scan with the radiologist. The nurse came in and told him the what they had found and that he wanted to do a needle guided ultra sound tomorrow to drain the fluid. Hopefully, this will take care of the situation or give them direction on what to do.
He has not felt well at all, in lots of pain, and discouraged with his progress.
We appreciate your prayers and concern.
I have been with him since Sat. evening.
