Jane,

Your brother really needs to pin down the doctors and find out just what happened and what is going on. Immediately upon his discharge have him call and request his surgical records along with pathology reports and hospital admissions and discharge reports. He will learn a lot....often things the doctors won't or don't tell us. If he doesn't understand what they say have him bring them to a nurse or someone who will. Sounds a little fishy to me. But I trust noone!!!

I pray that your brother's condition improves rapidly.
