Chris is still in the hospital due to his fever spiking three times yesterday. The doctors have said it is not abnormal for this to happen and they have him on some powerful IV antibiotics. So far today, he has not had any fever. The optimistic outlook from the GI doc is that he will be able to start oral antibiotics tomorrow and be home by tomorrow evening. The conservative outlook by the hospitalist doc is that he may continue on IV antibiotics another couple days so remain in the hospital until the weekend. Just so he makes the Seahawk game on Sat evening!!! Go Hawks! :)
The GI doc told me that they drained two and a half liters of bile out of his gall bladder on Monday and that he had never seen a gall bladder as big as Chris's was with all that fluid and inflammation! Think about a two liter of soda...wow, that's a lot of bile. No wonder Chris lost a lot of his lopsided 'pooch'!
They did another CT scan last night because of the fevers. There is still some inflammation and bile in the gall bladder but so far nothing out of the margin of what they might expect. The stent looks to be in the right place and hopefully is not leaking bile anywhere as that would be a problem.
Dr. Picozzi, the VM oncologist, is going to set up the PET scan and an appointment to review in a couple weeks, allowing Chris some time to recover. We'll see what is next at that point.
Today Chris seem to be doing well and even ate French toast and a poached egg for breakfast. Considering he has been having such a hard time eating lately, that was a feast and he said it wasn't hard to eat it. Hopefully an indication that this week was worth it and he'll be able to enjoy some food again.
Thanks for updating me,.....things can change fast and I missed all...now with the notice online...I am "in"....keep up the "faith"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update so we know what to pray for! Hoping he is feeling better today ... and that he can be at the Hawks game! Will look for him there : ))
ReplyDeleteThinking about you guys all the time out here in Port Orchard, praying with the kids that Chris gets an extra touch of encouragement - every. single. day. :-)
