It's been a very long wait but we finally were able to go see Ron. He went down for CT scan about 6:30 PM and got back to his room about 2 AM....long procedure (which most of the Interventional procedures are); they said after his CT scan they had to wait for an anesthesiologist to begin IR.
We have not spoken to a doctor but from what the nurses know, things went well and they were able to accomplish what needed to be done about the colonic fistula. They also adjusted some of the other drains AND, REMOVED THE NG TUBE...YEAH!!! They have another drain percutaneous (through skin) into stomach to drain instead. This will make him much more comfortable.
I'm sure we will all spend as much time possibe resting Saturday. I know he's pretty sore so will probably be on pain meds which will help him sleep, too.
Thanks for praying!
