I am not a medical person but have gone through some GI issues in the family and have some heart issues myself related to GI/possible hernia.

I looked up a lot of terms in that report, and looked up meds.

One thing: pain meds can cause constipation and other GI issues. She takes polyethylene glycol apparently to combat this-?

Colitis or ileus is not related to a hernia, right? Is she on meds for the possible colitis? Are they doing an endoscopy and biopsy or culturing for bacteria? I don't really know what they do for that. My cousin goes on prednisone for his ulcerative colitis, which is autoimmune.

If it were me, I would look at that med list, side effects and interactions. How long has she been on a PPI? Seroquel? Dicyclomine? I am not saying that meds are the reason for problems but they can sometimes make things worse.

Are the lung issues chronic or from anesthesia? I read that atelectasis ca be from anesthesia but don't know if/when the alveoli recover.

Has she seen a nutritionist or tried an elimination diet at any point? For instance, no gluten or dairy for a few weeks.

Can the Luvinox blood thinner given in hospital plus other meds, cause the bruising?

Harm done from the medical system can lead to chain reactions that cause more harm. I am not saying that is going on here, but seeing a functional medicine person might be helpful if she is out of crisis.

Does she have a good PCP? A GI and pulmonary doc she trusts at this point? It seems key to have the right providers. Sorry I am a lay person as are all of us here and I can only ask questions, and those are based on experience not medical knowledge!
