Figured It Out

The doctors figured out what is causing Sarah's nausea: she has an enflamed Pancreas. The CT didn't give any reason to believe that it is cancer-related. Probably just something related to the bile duct stent.
The plan is stop all food intake (but she gets nutrients via IV) until the pancreas settles down and then she'll do another ERCP procedure so they can make sure her pancreatic duct is cleared to allow flow. That'll probably be around Wednesday, so Sarah's got several more days in the hospital than we thought. But, we're both very relieved that we have a diagnosis and that it is both unrelated to cancer and that it is solveable.

I'm so sorry to hear about the hospital stay. Life sure throws you guys a lot to handle. Yet, you handle it so well. I'm so glad it is not related to the cancer and solveable - just as you said! Take care!
