Our stomachs can hold up to a gallon of liquid. I was very concerned because Larry was vomiting a large volume of something dark. We found this out last night after I called Larry's new GI Dr. He told me it was not blood but stomach liquid. This Dr is being very considerate and gives me the details I seek. He said that is not usual but when he went in yesterday he had to drain barium from 2 weeks ago and a lot of liquid that was just sitting there. He did not go into the entire stomach and was only in the area of the pylorus obstruction. He did not want to risk running into tumor growth. Larry was told to be patient and give it 48 hrs. So that is what we are doing. So far today has only eaten 1 scrambled egg, 1/2c rice and gatorade.
We are again hoping that everything will settle down and he can keep some food in.
