Update on Our Boy

This is the first time that I've left the hosp. since we went back. So, this will be short. As most of you know Troy'Michael is back in the hosp.. The doctor wanted him o be life flighted to St. Luke's hospital He had to have emergency surgery again. They had to take out some of his intestines, his colon had to be moved from his chest cavity back to his abdomen, his organs started to attach them selves to his abd. wall (which they had to detach them. He has an open wound over the previous scar from the week prior, this is to allow the infection to be able leave the body. He has an abscess on his pancreas which required 2 drain lines that drain on the outside. He also has a staph infection. He is also going through the frequent abd bleeding that is terrifying to us. He wakes up in puddles of blood. Troy is not eating or wanting to talk to anyone. He made the comment to me that he wanted to quit the fight last night. He is tired of being in pain. Not to mention the bed sores. He now weighs maybe 100 lbs. if that.

We do get emails at the hosp and cards Just contact the hosp for the info. We do enjoy the encouragement. And mail time.


Please continue to keep him in your prayers. Troy is far from being stable.

Thank you for your prayers and support Guys.

Troy and Stefanie Karnes and Family
