TIM back in Hospital w/ Dehydration & possible Stricture?

Hello all, I spoke with Tim Thursday he was struggling to get in 40 oz fluid a day due to nausea, vomiting foods etc. He was unsure if stress related etc. He had 4 hr period of non-stop vomiting even water Friday afternoon and headced to AMC ER; they admitted him (after 7 hrs) to E415; He has had 9 liters fluid, extra Potassium (K+) and Magnesium (MG++)...He sounded in good spirits this eve, he had a upper GI w/ contrast and seems there may be a stricture. He felt better after fluids Friday/Sat am and kept down fluids and then advanced to soft/mushies but 3 hrs after eating food came up and so did broth from even earlier! He has been walking laps around AMC. Keep him close in your thoughts and prayers!
