Thank you for all the comments with encouragements and prayers! We'll have to wait another day to see whether the external liver drain is an option for Sarah. We talked to both her onc and to the doc that did her stent replacement today, but right now it all rests with an interventional radiologist that we know and trust. He has to physically get the CT scan images which caused a delay. We're waiting to hear his assessment on whether he thinks a drain can help. We also learned today that Sarah's bilirubin result from last Thurs was over 13, so it is continuing to rise.
Based on that it looks like her liver is not recovering function, and I can see that taking its toll on her a little more each day.
Sleepy Sarah had an ok day today. Periods of wakefulness for some short visits mixed with resting in bed. Eating has become a chore for her since it seems to give her reflux that is uncomfortable, but she does what she can. Eggs have become a favorite due to the high protein and small portion size.
Signing out for tonight & I'll post again tomorrow with an update.
