She passed away yesterday morning. The ibuprofen caused an ulcer which ate through her stomach. She started having severe abdominal pain about 6 weeks ago and went to the ER. Drs find the leak in her stomach and more damage to her colon and performed an emergency surgery to repair the holes. After surgery she went home for a week or so but ended up back because she was so weak and still having stomach pain. Turns out she ended up with a CDiff infection which is what killed her. In honesty she did drink heavily so I am sure that did not help and perhaps compounded the effects of the ibuprofen.
Oh wow, yes it would. Ulcers are no joke, sorry for your loss and all the pain implied with her conditions. Prayers for you and the whole family, and for your sister's soul. May you all be blessed with His comfort and grace.
