My wife had another bleeding ulcer. Friday our Gastro doctor repaired it via Endoscope. There was a clip put on the blood vessel to stop the bleeding.

Thought that was fixed, and after transfusing 4 units of blood her Hemoglobin numbers went from 7.1 to 8.2. Last night she started bleeding again, and her numbers were back to 7.2. Things went downhill for her from there.

Today she had another 4 units of blood transfused along with 2 units of frozen blood plasma and with a Protonics IV Drip. Tomorrow, Monday, then will again do and Endoscopy to see if that blood vessel can be repaired via that entry. If not, her Bariatric Surgeon will first try to fix it with a scope through her stomach. If that fails, he will have to do an open surgery.

Won't know what's up until I go to the hospital early in the morning. From there it is a step by step procedure. Really had more questions today than answers, and won't really know for sure until they start with the Endo, hopefully early tomorrow morning.

Thank everyone for all your thoughts and prayers for my wife, and myself. I rather this be me than her going through this ordeal as for me this is much harder than dealing with this myself. Too much to soon for the love of my life to have to handle.

Thank you every one of you great people on these forums.

It is the hardest thing to watch our loved ones go through so much. Thank you for updating us and will keep the positive thoughts and strength going out to your wife and you. I hope you can get a bit of rest, even if it is only for an hour or two, so you can be a little refreshed for tomorrow. Hopefully you can get questions answered and everything will turn out even better than expected.
