Update On TBT.
Mar. 25th, 2011 08:38 pm.....Don't know if TBT will be up to posting tonight, although she might later. But just in case I wanted to give you all the latest.
.....We met her back in her room around 6:30PM after she was brought back from the recover. She was still incredibly woozy, but remarkably coherent. The nurse came in shortly after and said that she was 'combative' upon first waking up from surgery, so she had some added dosage of anesthesia to work through.
.....We sat with her for about an hour and a half or so. She would fall asleep and wake up at intervals. We'd talk with her a bit before she'd drift off again. When Rhys started getting antsy, I thought I'd better take him home. After the excitement of the past week or so, I was a little wrung out myself. I will sleep well tonight for a change.
.....Doctor Chun, her surgeon, said the Gall Bladder was inflamed, but not as bad as he had suspected. He prodded for some stones in some of the surrounding tubes, but didn't find any. He didn't have to actually cut her open, it was all done laproscopically. But he pronounced things as looking very good internally.
.....While he had the chance he snapped a bit of liver to check as well. There is still the matter of the anemia that is puzzling the doctors quite a bit. They aren't sure what is causing it and are going to run the liver through some tests.
.....So, we plan on showing up at the hospital early tomorrow and taking her home. Hopefully by 9AM or so. The surgeon wants to have one more blood work done on her before he'll send her home.
.....Thanks to all for the well wishes and prayers. Thank you Gwen for taking care of Rhys. Thank you Madrun for sitting with TBT when I couldn't. Everyone's thoughts and deeds are greatly appreciated.
