Mrs Krap is probably not going to make it.

Yesterday morning she was in so much pain she could not walk and I made her go the ER. They did a Abdominal CT and found a intestine had ripped open and she was full of liquid that was full of infection. Because she had been hiding the pain for 5 days and finally couldn't hide it anymore. So they put on a life flight to Deaconess and by the time I caught up in the truck she was already having a emergency surgery. The surgeon removed 4 liters of infected fluid and had to remove most of her stomach, a lot of intestine and all of the reconstructed tissue from the cancer surgery in April. She crashed on the table and he aborted the reconstruction part of this surgery and basically tacked the critical parts back together and closed her up with tape to get her stabilized. That is when they found all of the blood clots in her arms, legs and brain. As well as a severe case of pneumonia.

She should have woke up but she has not yet. A Brain Specialist is having her brain scanned at 10am this morning but suspect all of the blood clots cut the blood flow for too long during the surgery. They have her on a iv with stuff to break up and dissolve the clots. Best case she has only moderate brain damage and might wake up from the coma. Worst Case is she has severe brain damage or is effectively brain dead and will never wake up again.

IT REALLY FUCKING PISSES ME OFF THAT WE WERE BEATING THE CANCERand she was getting better by the day. And now a ripped intestine and blood clots are most likely going to kill her. A year of total hell with cancer on November 4th and then this B52 dropping a ton of cluster bombs on us. Brain Doc gives a 2% chance she will wake up and only have moderate brain damage but that % may go up or down after the brain scans.

I am every emotion possible right now. I had to come back home to feed the critters and move the dogs to the kennels and grab some sleep....... I have been awake since 2am yesterday morning and most of that waking time very high stress. Basically it is going to a take a full blown miracle for her to survive this and if she does she will not be the same woman that went into the emergency surgery yesterday.

I am not going to be on the internet much if at all for probably a long while. I need to clear my head, and focus on her. If they get her stabilized enough they are going to finish the aborted part of the surgery tomorrow or Monday if she doesn't get stable enough they are not going to put her back on the table to just crash and die. Limited time frame to go back in and finish the job as well.

Figured I should give a update to everyone that has followed this and offered so much support and encouragement during the last years crazy cancer ride. And no I am not done hoping for that miracle by a long shot.

 

So sorry to read this, Kamp you and your wife are in my prayers

 

prayers sent

 

I'm praying for you both and am so sorry that this has happened to y'all.

 

This is really sad news ,, not what i was wanting to hear in an update,,, words are hard for me to find in times like this , just know my thoughts , prayers ,, and well wishes are with you and Mrs Kamp . God bless .

 

Ripped intestine? Blood clots? WTH?! I don't understand where all this came from...doesn't make any sense...

I'm sorry KK and I just don't know what to say... Please know we will be thinking and praying for you both... I pray God gives you both clarity in this time of confusion, peace, and courage... God bless you both.

 

ripped intestine started from a little ulcer at the top of the rip. Blood Clots most likely from stopping her blood thinners for the near year of chemo or possibly one of the chemo drugs.

 

I can relate.
Lost my sister - not to cancer, but a heart attack caused by the overall effect of the chemo treatment. The cancer treatment was said to be successful, but the patient died.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. She is now, at least, free from pain.

May the Lord accept her with open arms.

 

Praying for you both.

 

That's hard, KK, and I'm talking from very recent experience.
I broke down at dinner the other night at a friends house, took about 45 min to regain my composure and it's been almost 4 months.
Hold yourself together whatever happens.
It's a struggle but it's worth it.

 

I am so sorry that you're going through this. It is very upsetting. I'm saying prayers for you and your wife. Hang in there.

 

Prayers for her and you, may things go much better than expected.

 

Kk, so sorry to hear this, keeping you in my thoughts.

 

OMG, so sorry to hear this. Prayers for both of ya'll going out.

 

prayers outbound to you, your family and the doctors!

 

Definitely sorry to hear this. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you both.

 

We're all with you my brother. Don't forget to take care of yourself as well.

 

So sorry to hear this, especially since we were hoping to hear happy news of her continued improvement! My prayers are with you both!
