This is another day that I lost…my drains had become cloudy and my fever was rising and the decision was made to take me back to surgery to investigate what was happening.

After I was opened back, the surgeon came out and told my husband that my stomach, part of my esophagus and part of my small bowel had become necrotic and he needed permission to remove them.  Surgery was completed and my gi tract was left in a state of discontinuity.   I was returned back to ICU for the night.
