Hi Terri:
I am so sorry your husband is going through this.  My dad had these serious symptoms to, but it was diagnosed as psorosis of the liver caused by an earlier blood transfusion which was infected with hepatitis (sp?).
 
I hope this is not the case for your husband.  The vessels being tied off are probably the varicies veins (again sp?).  They tied dad's off while doing an endoscopy. 
 
My prayers are with you and your husband. 
Sincerely,
Chere

Subject: OT: My hubby

     I needed to type and get it off my chest...
My hubby was taken by Paramedics yesterday due to diarhrea and vomiting blood out of both ends it looked like tar and was clots. He been doing this since the night before. Was up and down with him cleaning him up and cleaning the bedroom because it was all over the place. He tried getting to the bathroom but his legs were buckeling under him. I kept telling him he needs to go to emergency but he wouldnt listen finally a decision was made. They have found so far he has some kind of liver damage. Stomach full of blood they went in with a scope to tie off a few vessels but couldnt get to the bottom of his stomach because of the blood. He is in restraints because he was trying to pull the tubes out of his nose. Right now he doesn't know me or anyone else. They finally sedated him so they can do the extreme tests on him. I have slept maybe 4hrs since wednesday. I just found out I have to have surgery next week on my left foot....thanks for reading this had to vent some. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers...Thanks!!     :(
