My blessing is in the hospital.

Which version do y'all want?

Hmmm.... Let's go with the long version. It'll probably make more sense.

So my brother (Whom from here on out shall be named, My Blessing) has chronic constipation issues (It's even more gross than it sounds), and in October he had a GI button put in his abdomen. I think. It's on his tummy. And what it does is it allows us to put together a laxative solution with some water (or is it saline? I don't have much to do with it) and put it in an IV bag and he connects the tube to his button and we flush his bowels with it.

Only apparently that isn't quite enough, because he's all backed up again. He is in the hospital, because with the button this could be VERY dangerous. But, (THANK YOU LORD!!) It isn't NEARLY as bad as it was the last two times he's been in the hospital. The poo is only in his large intestine, and they don't have to stick a tube down his nose this time! :D They can just run the laxative through his button. I think. I try to learn as little as possible, because this is SUPER GROSS.

But to summarize, he needs prayers. And I don't care what religion you are, just PLEASE pray for him. Pray that the doctor's can figure out why this is happening and find a way to keep it from happening again. And I don't care if you're not Catholic. Most of my friends aren't. My best friend is actually Lutheran, but we still pray for each other.

Well, that about sums up what's going on right now. Also, if y'all have a topic you think I should blog about, don't be afraid to comment telling me so! I do take requests. ;)
