Procedure a success - Praise God

Today is tuesday the 4th of March. Joe had his drain put in today without problems so now he doesn't have a bag on the outside. He still has a catheter from his bile duct to the outside but it will be used only if they need to access it. I will flush it twice a day to keep it open. There is a risk of infection with this but they feel it is worth it to be able to get at the bile duct quickly. He is half dozing now. He had terrible chills when we got home. We are both going to rest now and will see Dr. Schubert's N.P. tomorrow for follow up. Three times at the hospital in one week is enough. Thanks for all your prayers. If you call, please use my cell phone so it doesn't wake Joe at least between 1-5 P.M. Thanks for understanding. Take care and God bless. Mary Anne
