29 Oct Update

Well, Sarah's nausea came back and persisted... so the plan is now to do another ERCP so the doc can go into the bile duct with a camera and verify no strictures - also most likely to place a stent again. It's a bit of a mystery what is going on at this point. All numbers are heading back down towards the normal range (ALT, AST, Lipase) except Bilirubin which continues to climb. Sarah's skin and eyes have a noticeable yellow tint to them at this point. And then there's the nausea which was the problem to begin with -- she needs relief from the nausea so she can return to eating a healthy diet before she can leave the hospital.
So, ERCP and stent and hopefully enough add'l info to understand what's causing the problem. I'll post after the procedure to report how it went. Will be spending all day Friday and probably overnight at the hospital with Sarah.
