The surgery went well and Chris is here with me in his nice hospital room because he has to stay the night after all. They found some sludge (that word again!) in his bile duct that necessitated a muscle at the end of the bile duct be cut as well as the stent being put in. They cleaned out the sludge for now but needed to make sure there was an exit if more sludge came so that it wouldn't block the stent. What is the sludge? Not sure...may be ooze from a tumor. They will keep him overnight for observation due to some bleeding that occurred when they cut the muscle. They clamped it but need to make sure it doesn't start bleeding again. But the good news is that the stent is in place and Chris is recovering nicely.

Hi Guys!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that it went well and I hope that having the muscle cut doesn't cause to much discomfort. :(
Here's to hoping that the sludge will go where it is supposed to and the stent does its thang! Get some rest -
Sending hugs to you all {{{{C-W-T}}}}
Thumbs up!
