Today was a relatively uneventful day. The only excitement was perhaps when the Senior Consultant came to make the morning rounds and managed to explain carefully what took placed on Friday and what is going to happen over the next few days. From his explanations, it is logical to try and open up the bile duct before trying to open the small intestine and because stenting of the bile duct could not be achieved via the endoscopy route, access will have to be through the abdomen externally. According to the Senior Consultant, the procedure is relatively straight forward but it is done but a Radiologist and for that, I'll have to wait till Monday for it to be scheduled. Once done, they will monitor the situation and then plan for opening the small intestine. There are a lot of technical terms but in the interest of the readers of my blog, I am trying to use as much layman terms as possible that may not provide an accurate picture of what actually is going on and what will be happening.
Anyway, with all these, I'll have to stay in the hospital for at least another 3 more days excluding Sunday.
I ask for prayer that the stenting of the bile duct can be successfully done on Monday followed by quick turnaround for the opening of the small ingesting to be done as soon as possible afterward.
