Hospitalization

Mary was admitted to the hospital early this afternoon.  The Doctors, in reviewing her x-ray, found a blockage in her small intestine.  They didn't give Annie a ton of information but did make mention that they felt Mary was dehydrated which is a major cause of blockage with stoma patients.  In reading a bit about this latest obstacle, I did find that this in NOT uncommon in stoma patients.  I'm remaining optimistic that this is just a bump in the road or in Mary's case, a rather large "bump" in her intestine.

She is currently resting and the Doc's a pumping her full of liquids in hopes to relax her and get things moving.  I'll keep you posted as I hear more!!
