Dr. Beecherl (Dr. Shires partner) came in and said Dr. Parikh will take Ron down early afternoon and see if he is able to contain the "colonic fistula" (leak in colon) through Interventional Radiology procedure. If not, Dr. Beecherel will talk to a gastroenterologist to see if they can go in and do something with a stent (never been done on this type of thing but routinely used for other similar problems) to buy some time and if they don't feel that can be done, then they will have to operate. This is definitely a last resort, no one wants to have to go in there but if needed....
Please join us in praying that this will be able to be handled without going into surgery!!! Also, please pray against infection from all this leakage!
