In a way it is a relief, as I told my Mom, when he's in hospital they HAVE to deal with him. This is how his cancer was found a few years ago, originally they kept sending him home and calling it "flu". Finally, when they hospitalized him they found he had cancer. So, they'll do X-rays and who knows what else and hopefully find how to help him. I know that Hiatus Hernia can cause vomiting but if it is happening numerous times a day despite eating small meals and following the guidelines etc then something else needs to happen. He also has a heart condition and I wonder how much puking the heart can take over time. The pills for his hernia just seem to make him sicker! It's a blessing that my brother is on vacation the next few weeks and has his car on the road. He's a great guy and one loyal son. He took them to the hospital at 1:30 am yesterday and will go with Mom today to see what's happening. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers folks. I'll keep you posted.
