Sorry for the late update today!
He
survived without me as I left Duke yesterday afternoon. He is
continuing to do his walking "laps" and even showered last night for the
first time since surgery!
Rays had a great day and very productive!
Pulled JP drain from stomach (this was from surgery)
Epidural is out
Blood cultures are still negative
Sodium bi-carb level is back to normal
Pulling
tube out from biliary duct from surgery and even before (this is what
attached to the bile bag)- liver numbers were almost within NORMAL
range.
All liver test are almost completely back to normal!
Kidney function is 2.2...down from 2.4 yesterday and 2.9 after surgery.
Liver doctors were VERY pleased this AM during rounds as well as surgical team.
They
will round on him tomorrow AM and if things continue to look good this
afternoon, over night and with AM labs then there is a real possibility
that he will be released tomorrow sometime.
He is READY, tomorrow he will have been at Duke for a week now!
I will update you all tomorrow and hope that it will be with continued good news and that he may be coming home!
Thank you all for the continued prayers, thoughts, texts/emails to Ray to help pass the time since he is there by himself now!
Janet and Ray
