I just heard from my mother and sisters that Dad is in their local hospital's ER. There was blood coming out of his PEG, at least 1000ccs. Mom had said that Dad was very lethargic the last day or two so now I realize this must have been because Dad was bleeding internally. Tests run so far indicate everything is "normal" so he is being sent to OSU in Columbus for further testing. Mom says they are waiting for an ambulance ( and an open bed at OSU ) to take Dad to Columbus. Does anyone have a clue as to what might be happening? Could one of his meds possibly cause stomach problems and maybe an ulcer formed and now is bleeding? He does take Rilutek but I don't know whether this affects the stomach? I'm sure I won't hear any more news until much later today but thought I'd turn to all of you for any ideas.
