Successful Surgery

Chris's surgery today went well.  They used a new procedure to put a stent in between his gall bladder and small intestine to help the gall bladder drain.  They also drained out the fluid that had built up in his gall bladder.  We can already see the difference!  Chris no longer has a big pooch on his right side.  He is doing well eating his broth and Jello, which is a good sign too as he hasn't had any kind of an appetite recently.  If he doesn't get nauseated or start throwing up, he gets to advance to lowfat foods tonight or tomorrow morning.  He'll get to go home tomorrow afternoon if no complications.  The GI doctor thinks everything went extremely well today so we are hopeful that will happen.

We haven't seen Dr. Picozzi, the oncologist, yet today.  We are interested to find out next steps and will keep you updated as we find out more.

Chris is very, very touched by all of the well wishes and help that everyone is offering.  He wants to let everyone know he is moved by all of you and it means so much to him, to us.

With love,
Wendy
