I know this is an old thread, but just an update... We finally found out what went wrong, Dr.Kalim at Hamot hospital in Erie pa did her surgery. Sometime during the surgery he twisted her stomach, creating a hourglass like shape that couldnt allow food to pass, therefore when they did the barium swallow to see why it was leaking the barium couldnt pass through the stomach and she essentially drown on it.... fast forward to years later, when she can no longer even keep Water down, a specialist from Cleveland Clinic does a scope, shocked by what he found, nothing at this point can pass through her stomach because strictures have formed at the twisted area, causing a complete blockage. She is scheduled to have her stomach removed completely next week. Praying this works

Just a positive update thank the lord! My friend was moved from icu to a regular hospital room this week, she still is on a vent, and feeding tube with 3 drains for the infection, but took 10 steps with therapy today and a few sips of Apple juice! I even washed her hair and gave her a awful haircut! Her hair had knotted up to an extreme that wouldn't allow combing or brushing... I am see a miracle, right before my eyes! Thank you to everyone that was kind enough to send me such encouraging messages and prayers!

Ok for those that have asked, I had a long conversation. Neither the doctor that did her original surgery yesterday. His response was that she is in the one percent where things happen. They dont know exactly why but thinks probably that the part of the stomach that was cut away didn't have enough blood flow left to allow it to to heal, so the stitches that were placed during surgery didn't hold and her stomach completely had opened... We may never really know! But yesterday she had a speaking valve on her trache so she could talk, drank some ensure, and did some exercises with therapy which included walking! We are praying she will be home with her kids by Christmas!
