Pat,
I am praying for Vernon, you go girl, stick to your guns and don't let them 
send him home until the bleeding stops.

>
> He was bleeding when he went to the bathroom, and he went a whole lot

>
> This afternoon, I was upstairs, when Vernon called me. I hurried down

> I asked him what he wanted me to do, and he told me to call 911. I did so. 
> This was the first time, I've had to call 911 from our Vonage line. Vernon 
> was laying on the floor, and he was close to passing out. He was in the 
> bathroom.
>
> The ambulance was here in less than five minutes. I was way impressed.
>
> Jim Farrell, our neighbor, was also here. They took Vernon to the hospital 
> here in town, and Jim took me to the hospital. They did blood work, and 
> xRays, and started an I.V. He was doing pretty good, and I asked the nurse 
> to call Doctor Cy, in Huron, since he had done the Colonoscopy procedure 
> last Friday.
>
> When the nurse told us that Doctor Cy said to send Vernon home, and for 
> him to go to the clinic tomorrow, to see Doctor Cy, I told them, no, and 
> that he was not going home, as long as he was bleeding. I told her to call 
> Doctor Cy again, and to bypass his nurse, Gloria. She did just that, and 
> Doctor Cy told her to send him via ambulance to Huron and they would admit 
> him. I found out
>  when Doctor Cy had called me this evening, that he didn't realize how 
> much Vernon was bleeding, and he apologized.
>
> Vernon is in the Huron Hospital in Intensive care. He  was doing very 
> well, when I talked to him earlier this evening. I know that Doctor Cy 
> will not release him until he stops bleeding. He said this can happen 
> after a Colonoscopy.
>
> We'll see what tomorrow brings.
>
> Please keep him in your prayers.

> Thanks much.
