20 June - Stent Went Fine

Still in the hospital with Sarah but the docs say she can go home so we're going through the release process. The stent went in fine yesterday although Sarah says the procedure was very uncomfortable (she woke up in the middle of it twice). It's a temporary stent which should last around 3-6 months, so it will be either replaced or potentially removed before long (if chemo shrinks the lymph node pressing on the duct then then stent may not be needed anymore).
After two back-to-back anesthesias, Sarah has bounced back remarkably well and is eager to get back home. She's was also happy to hear that her liver numbers have already significantly improved and are almost back in normal range! So, the gall bladder removal and stent placement were well worth it and definitely needed.
