Illinois...

[Justso]

We found out that she didnt have her colon removed. while they could see the infection it doesnt look dead or dieing.

they placed a temporary ostomy to infuse antibiotics directly into the colon as well as the oral and iv meds.

she may still lose her colon tomorrow they will make that decision.

for now they left the incision open

she is also on dialysis as her kidneys are still shut down. they feel confident they will start up again and heal if she can kick this.

Very sorry to hear!

Hello from Plainfield, IL! Anyone local have a good corn/soy free organic feed source?

@Justso hello! I feel like I haven't seen you post much. Or perhaps I overlooked... hope all is well. Or chickens are STILL enjoying the grit you shared with us last year. Seems to just last forever.

I'm so sorry to hear about your future MIL. We're praying. Feel free to give me call if you need to talk / cry / vent.

I'm not online as much due to my temp lack of computer. DH is rebuilding a computer for me using recycled parts. Now he's patching and restoring my data from back ups.

we just got a call from Mike's sister. Mom is declining again. they are taking her to surgery again to remove her colon in a last ditch effort to save her. if they didnt try this she would for sure pass in the next few days and it would be slow and painful


Mom made it through the surgery but it's not looking good. They removed her colon which had a lot of bleeding. The rest of her intestines also had bleeding. They cauterized what they could in there. She is getting an antibiotic infusion right now.

The children will be getting together as soon as the third makes it up to decide if we want to keep going with treatments and potentially take her back to surgery in the event of more internal bleeding.

She's still on dialysis and we are unsure what her mental state will be if she makes it and wakes up. She is under no sedation but is not conscious and unresponsive.

Right now I think it mostly depends on if she starts producing her own platelets and red blood cells.

Hang in there my friend. (This is not the news I was looking forward to reading when I logged in this morning.) All we can do is pray and try to give comfort to your DH2B.

Thanks for the update.

Yes some take forever to molt. Worse when they decide to start in Nov

I had a RIR that started molting in December and didn't fully fill in until May or June. No eggs the whole time. It was so frustrating. Now she's back to her lazy 2 a week schedule. And she's barely two. My mother in law keeps saying that she wants to be a soup.
