UPDATE ON MAEMAE

After various tests including unltrasound of the abdomen, it was found out today that Maemae has a blocked and swollen intestine, medically called ILEUS-- a condition where a part of the intestine (large or small) is blocked or in this case of paralytic ileus, the bowel or intestine stops its peristaltic activity.  Treatment of this sickness is quite invasive since it might require total bowel rest, meaning the patient shall be required to fast for a few days.  Later on, a naso-gastric tube (a tube put into the nose through the nasal cavity then into the stomach) might be inserted for waste evacuation purposes and probably a surgery to empty the dysfunctional bowel and to correct the blockage.  Those are the treatments being considered but as of now, the doctor is keeping Maemae in a steady IV flow to give nutrients to her body.  She is also on that very expensive medicine to reduce the swelling of the intestine before any other treatment shall be done.  Hopefully the medicine will also be able to activate peristalsis of the intestine so that surgery will not have to be done.

Please continue to pray for little Maemae.

Thank you...
