Robynn died on November 13, 2007 from a small bowel volvulous with
infarction. What is this?
Bowel infarction or 'bowel death' results from a
severely restricted blood supply to part of the bowel; this can in turn
be due to an uncorrected bowel twist or bowel strangulation, or to
occlusion of one of the mesenteric arteries.
Strangulation sometimes results from fibrous bands which can form after
major bowel surgery due to post operative adhesions.
The condition is very commonly fatal, is difficult to anticipate and not
an easy diagnosis.
Small numbers of people have survived resection of extensive sections of
bowel following arterial occlusion, but maintaining nourishment
presents large problems.
If there is any silver lining here, the only positive with this type of
condition is that I am just grateful that she did not suffer a long,
excruciating death. God took her very quick. My heart will have a hole
in it for the rest of my life until that day that I see her in heaven
and can hold her in my arms again.

Forever missing our Angel
Love You ALWAYS, baby girl...
