Mom in ICU

Quickly updating

The evening after my mother's surgery to replace a stint in her liver, she began vomiting blood.
Yesterday she was placed in ICU.
The GI specialist said that it may be residual blood from the procedure that could only come up because it couldn't go down.
(because her bowel is still blocked, it came up)
She received a blood transfusion last night and today we will find out if another procedure is needed to locate the source of the bleeding.

I'm very tired and confused.
My older sister freaked out yesterday and refused to go to the hospital to visit my mom.
My stupid oldest brother is of no help.
My 15year old nephew and I looked after her.
My husband is still in Brazil and was robbed of his laptop as he ate breakfast last week.
Need some good news.
