I need help and google is not helping, just scaring the poo out of me.

Yes, Google's answer for everything is that you have Cancer. That's why I refuse to look up symptoms on the interwebs

My son had an endoscopy done this morning. Ever since he's been home

he's been nauseated even though they gave him something for it. Now he's throwing up what we think is blood.

*warning gross description coming up*

He's throwing up black chunks.

Get him to the hospital!

[sunbunny]

Ok.

It's stomach bleeding. Emergency room now. Is he very heavy drinker? Cause this can do it.

Ulcer can cause this as well.

[sunbunny]

Getting dressed now.

No, he doesn't drink. He's 18.

Only a Huddler can both ask a life threatening question and throw out a joke at the same time.

Hope all is well.

Finally home. Still don't know if he has blood in his stomach. They tried to put a tube down his nose but it was too swollen from ,where he'd just had the endoscopy. Pain from that so bad he started crying and shaking and almost passed out. Have to call his dr when they open so they can see him again. Gave him meds until we can get there.

Arsen, his ulcers healed according to the endoscopy. He does have some inflammation in the upper part of his stomach.

Def keep us updated. I hope its nothing to serious.

[sunbunny]

Will do.
