Hospital Visit - 12 JANUARY 2008

This month, after Jerry's oncology appointment Jerry was having a lot of difficulty with abdomen pain, diarrhea, as well as, lower back (maybe colon) pain. After having a bad Thursday night, he stayed home from work on Friday. Anything he tries to eat goes right through him he is feeling very week, along with the pain and discomfort he is experiencing. On Saturday morning Jerry woke me up early to take him to the ER emergency room. After being there for several hours he was released with a prescription. Because of all the recent antibiotics, for sinus, colitus etc. Jerry has lost all his good bacteria, in his system. The prescription is to help him build back up some of the good bacteria. Along with the prescription he is drinking Acidophiles milk, lots of yogurt products, eating bananas and cream of wheat... and of course chicken soup and jello to try and help his system.

Hope that the prescription and the diet help Jerry start feeling better. Diarrhea is NEVER fun! Has he started any NEW medications or eaten anything different lately? Of course, stress can play a part as well.

Jerry is in our thoughts and prayers as well as yourself!
