Chris's surgery went well. They were able to remove the two plastic stents that were put in back in August. They instead put in a metal stent that expands the bile duct more than the plastic ones do. They drained a lot of bile and sent some to the lab to test for infection. They will watch Chris for the next 24 to 36 hours so he'll be staying until at least Wednesday. The oncologist and surgeon will talk tomorrow about a strategy to put in another permanent way to drain the gall bladder. This may mean another surgery on Wed. We'll know more tomorrow.
Thanks for all of the prayers, well wishes and offers to help! We appreciate it all so much.
With love,
Wendy
