Tuesday Evening Update :
Kevin underwent another surgery this am with four different testing procedures :: EGD, ERCP, Endoscopic Ultrasound (Upper), and XR Fl ERCP Biliary Duct.
His Bile Duct was full of infection, sludge, and contained two large stones. This has been cleaned out and stones removed. The doctor came up
To talks through results. He is confident the bile duct and gallbladder were the one two issues. And they state this was taken care of just in time — before it would have turned septis.
Hopefully, Bloodwork will continue to test levels (as his billirubin was dangerously high).
Pancreas, Liver, Stomach, and Esophagus are all normal. He does have small nodule on his right lung, that has been there for over a decade and is benign.
Since here, he has undergone testing of:
EKG
Chest X-ray
CT Scan of abdomen and pelvis
ultrasound of Gallbladder
Magnesium Panel
Lipase Panel
MRI of Liver
MRI with contrast
MRCP with and without contrast
XR Intraoperstive Guidance
More blood tests that I can count
EGD
ERCP
Endoscopic Ultrasound (Upper)
XR Fl ERCP Biliary Ducy
3 - Urine Anaylsis
He is in VERY good hands. He IS up and walking, so one step closer to going home.
