It is 430 AM and I am just home.
Scarey call from a Social Worker at 8 AM to say Pat was not breathng well.
Long story short, he is septic, full of poison. He had his colon removed tonight along with 6 litres of fluid. They weren't sure he was going to tolerate the surgery, it was over 6 hours.
No perforation.
He has many hurdles ahead. He had dialsis today also as his kidneys were not working. 
He will have more, but not to be a permanent thing.
