Sorry to keep creating new threads here but I am freaking out.
My mom had her takedown on Friday and my biggest worry then was just having her get used to the new bowel and all of the issues I see people post about here, but we aren’t even there yet.
It’s been 48 hours with no bowel movement and instead we have dark red blood (increasing in quantity and now with clots) coming out the back and she has violently vomited twice on Saturday and has a distended stomach so they are saying she likely has an “ileus” and now can’t eat or drink anything and has an NG tube.
I am freaking the eff out because neither of these things seem like the normal stuff that should be happening. I am so scared because I don’t know how long either is supposed to last and what it means for her future recovery.
