30 Aug - Stent Replacement Went Well

Sarah just came out of her stent replacement procedure. Despite the fact that they gave her a general anesthesia this time, she's feeling pretty good (relatively) after it. The doc was able to remove the old stent, clean out the bile duct and place a new stent of the same size - so it was a full success from our perspective. This will eliminate a possible source of infection and make sure that her liver continues to drain well. The oncologist said that now they'll focus on stabilizing her potassium, calcium, etc so she can go back home - the estimate is Wed and we'll try to beat that. :) She's on three antibiotics, so hopefully that will clean up the C. Diff and anything else causing trouble.
Ben and Sam each had a great first day of school and they are excited about their new classes and teachers. "Grandpa and Oma" have been a big help in taking care of the boys while Sarah's been in the hospital!

So glad the stent procedure went well. Hopefully Sarah can get home soon. I hope the boys are enjoying the new school year and I am glad that your parents are there to help. As always, praying for healing and strength for you all.
Take care, The Peters Family
