Ultrasound Results

Dr. Yvonne was just in with the ultrasound results. (Leigh, if you are reading this, she really speaks highly of you) No blockage and no signs of infection around stint. They are going to keep him one more day to observe and keep antibiotics running. If fever stays down will send him home in the morning. YAY! No ERCP procedure. This is very good news even though they haven't pinpointed the cause of the fever (which would be great - but beggars can't be choosers). Now he is waiting for his lunch. I have just let out a big sigh of relief!

Just before the doctor came in Joe was sleeping and must have been having a nice dream judging by the smile on his face.

7pm Update: around 3pm this afternoon, Joe began to complain of chills and feeling warm. Sure enough, his fever had returned. 100.3
He was given Tylenol and his fluids resumed as well as antibiotics, magnesium and potassium supplements. As of 6pm his fever had not gone back down. We shall have to see what the doctors think later tonight and in the morning if the fever remains. Hoping it breaks and we are still able to get Joe home in the morning.
