My father-in-law had a colonoscopy on Wednesday and everything went well, but the Dr found a large polyp that he removed that was determined to be "precancerous". This AM at 3am, he started hemorrhaging and passed out in the bathroom. Beth's mother called her and Beth told her mother to call 911 and she drove over. By the time Beth got over there, her father was on the way to the hospital in the ambulance. There was blood all over the bathroom and he obviously lost a lot of blood from the polyp. Anyway, the ER admitted him, low blood count and they started an IV and giving him blood to stabilize him. Two units of blood later and he's doing much better. He's going into surgery tomorrow so they can stop the bleeding, although it's stopped right now. He was as pale as a bedsheet when he arrived and when I visited today after work, he was looking pretty good. He fell twice, so he's bruised up, but he's in good spirits. What a day for him!!!
