My father is a 67-year-old man who suffered several weeks of abdominal pain, nausea, and lack of bowel movements. Upper gastrointestinal CT scan and passage series revealed evidence of severe intestinal
hypomotility. A thorough evaluation for the cause of the patients ileus and abdominal pain was unrevealing, and symptomatic treatment was ineffective. Over the course of 3 weeks abdominal pain and distention worsened, requiring an urgent subtotal colectomy
can be found to account for his illness. It is now 40 days post-operation and motility has still not returned. We are looking for a medical facility that might be able to offer a diagnosis or treatment. We have sent his records to Mayo clinic and Baylor. So far, no one offers a treatment plan.
