DD Rushed to the ER in Aurora (Colorado)

At 11:30 last night for severe abdominal pain. DH and I quickly threw some things in a suitcase, called our house sitter, and drove through the (entire) night to get here. She’s had a battery of tests which showed an internal hernia of the intestine that’s getting periodically pinched off and causing severe pain. It’s now in danger of necrosing (getting pinched off long enough for that part of it to die and need to be cut out and resectioned). Not good! It sounds like she’ll be going to surgery to repair the hernia today or tomorrow. So we’re up here for the time being. Right now she’s resting semi- comfortably, thanks to some good pain meds. I’ve been up for 29 hours straight and counting, but am waiting now for the surgeon to get here to talk about what and when.
