My aunt maryanne has diverticulitis and 8 inches of intestine had to be removed. She requires a clostomy bag and when the hospital put tubes down her throat they damaged some tissue and nerves. She's coughing constantly which makes it hard on her, not only is it painful, but her stiches could pull loose with all the coughing. She has 3 kids, 1 grandchild, and her husband has had a major heart attack and is diabetic. Prayers greatly appreciated, thank you.
Here's more info on the condition:
