Day 24


This is Rob's Road to Recovery board.  As you can see, lots of reds (no's and don'ts), and not much else going on on it.  We are still kind of in that wait-and-see mode.

He was admitted to the hospital last night, and brought up into a room about 4:00 a.m. They did an MRI on him right before bringing him up, and it shows there is no blockage.  They believe he had a stone, and with so much build up, it finally gave way and he passed it, and is now just left with the after effects.  For now we are trying to make his angry pancreas happy again, and then they will make a decision on what to do with him. 

We are being told there are two options; keep him here a couple days, send him home for further healing and then have outpatient surgery to remove the gallbladder in a week or two, OR, just go ahead and take the gallbladder out now while he is already in the hospital.  Either way, I'm afraid he's going to have to be here for a few days.
