He was taken by ambulance to the hospital.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause of the cancer in his liver, along with everything his liver has endured from surgery, chemotherapy, and the pump, pressure has built up inside the liver. That pressure can back up into the stomach and cause bleeding. The ulcer still needs further evaluation, but the bleeding and liver pressure are the major concerns right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Duguay being loaded into an ambulance. @mrs__shay\/Instagram<\/p>\n Duguay seems to be taking an upbeat approach after the harrowing incident.<\/p>\n He posted a split-photo to his Instagram Story on Monday night that showed him minus a few teeth and said chompers on the floor at his house.<\/p>\n \u201cFound my teeth on the bedroom floor,\u201d he caption the Instagram Story.<\/p>\n Thomas\u2019 posts included a captioned video showing Duguay being loaded into an ambulance, and later transported through the hospital on a gurney.<\/p>\n The ex-Ranger was conscious while being attended to and moved throughout the hospital.<\/p>\n Duguay lost a few teeth in the ordeal. @ronduguay10\/Instagram<\/p>\n His daughter said he had been struggling to eat before fainting due to how he had been feeling.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is still admitted to the hospital and receiving blood transfusions while the doctors continue to monitor him closely,\u201d Thomas wrote in the post.<\/p>\n \u201cThrough it all, our dad remains strong, positive, and trusting God every step of the way.
