Update on Dad. He has had another abdominal Xray this time with dye.

This has confirmed that there is no blockage but wind stopping the bowel working. They are going to the tubing again over the weekend and hopefully clear him out completely and then assess the situation on Monday as for his fitness for the op.

When I left this evening they had made him nil by mouth again because they do not want more and more build up and they are going to give him some nutrients that by pass the bowel I suppose some vitamin supplements of some kind to keep his strength up. They are allowing him to have water though. The plan is that if they keep him off solids over the weekend and with this tubing it will clear him out and we can then be in a position by Monday to start preparing him for threatre. Whether they will want to put him back on solids for day or so I do not know but probably no if they are feeding him with vitamins etc.

I am at my friend's house tonight so will not be up on FR - I am staying the night and will log on tomorrow from home sometime. Wow I did not realise that dial up was so slow my dial up is much faster on the odd ocassion I have to use it.

Kate hopefully someone can put a singles thread up later and Jonny please advise dosers of the above.

Thanks, if I get a chance I will log on later but probably will have an early night

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers

Eleanor
