The same thing happen after my dad's surgery, expect the blood was gathering outside where the colon was remove. He had a fever also. Sometimes surgery on an older person is tougher after it's done.

at Least 48 more hours in the hospital. 2 more pints of blood yesterday that finally seemed to get his oxygen levels up which helped get his hydration levels to come up. 8 pints of blood total now.
