MICU at Wesley

We are thankful that Sandy is feeling better today - not great, but much better than last night. Her labs came back showing bacteria in the blood, and she had the symptoms of sepsis. It is a good thing she went to the hospital rather than waiting! Sandy's doctor completed the ERCP (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007479.htm) to replace the stent early this evening. When the "old" stent came out, it was apparent that the infection was from the area of the stent. She has an IV for fluids and another one for antibiotics. They took her back to the MICU at least until tomorrow. Tomorrow a decision ought to be made regarding a new surgery date. Please pray for the infection to go away, the stent to remain unblocked, surgery to happen soon, and for Sandy to find joy and strength in the midst of disappointing news.
