29 Nov - Another Bile Duct Stent

Sarah is scheduled to get her bile duct stent replaced tomorrow (Tues). Her bilirubin was 7.5 last Friday which is already sky-high and it probably went up over the weekend. Despite the high number and her yellow eyes and skin, she's managing ok and the plan is to have the procedure tomorrow be outpatient. The doc says Sarah should get a metal stent this time vs. a temporary plastic one since the permanent kind should not clog up like the past ones have. Sarah was relieved that we could get this scheduled right away on Tuesday.
