Oh boy.... someone posted earlier they thought the feces might have been dried blood Nathan vomited. (forgot the medical term sorry)
Is it possible if there really was feces smeared on the walls it was Nathan who did that in his rage?
This seems to be getting harder for me as the reality of it sinks in.....
I can't stop hugging my little oneevery chance I get thinking about little Ethan and what he endured.
It's known as 'coffee ground emesis'. When blood is partially digested in the stomach, it has the color and look of coffee grounds. It has a very distinct appearance and smell. I asked about what they call a stress ulcer (physiologic stress, not stress-out-stress) because of the vomiting blood... I'm assuming they would mean bright red blood. It occurs in, among other conditions, people with severe trauma. Ibuprofen would have increased the risk (god knows how much they may have overdosed him on that) leading to the ulcerations. I doubt we'll hear the full post-mortem report, but I'm willing to bet it will find a hell of alot more than head injuries and burns.
