Procedure tomorrow

Thursday February 28th,2008
Frist of all, I flew home from Boniare yesterday. I left Bonaire at 7 in the morning and got home about 10 last night. It was a long trip but we did fine, Lucky and me. Kevin picked me up from the airport and then stayed overnight with us.
This morning, we went to the hospital for pretesting stuff for tomorrow. The procedure tomorrow is called a percutaneous trranshepatic something or other. They will go in through the skin and insert a drain with an external bag which will be temporary til the billirubin goes down and then maybe later place a stent in. We don't know if he will be in overnight or not but we are prepared. He is very weak but not in any pain and I am so glad I am home to help him. His bililrubin is up to 20 now so he needs some relief. We ask for prayers that this procedure goes better than Monday and that it will get rid of the jaundice. We thank you for all the support you have given us with phone calls etc. The grace from your prayers buoy us up each day. We are looking at one day at a time and know God is walking with us in this journey. God bless all of you. Mary Anne
