Bernie has been in the hospital for the last 2 weeks. He was admitted for Pancreatitis, caused by
Gallstones. He needed his Gallbladder
taken out, however they found a pseudocyst on his pancreas which complicated
the issue. He hasn't been able to eat as food would irritate the pancreas even more, so has been hooked up to an IV and feeding tube. We thought he was going to have to come home
and stay on the feeding tube for several more weeks while the pseudocyst got
smaller or grew a more protective shield around it so they could operate. On Tuesday the Dr. ordered a CT scan and
things looked so good that he was able to have the surgery that day. We are so thankful that he was able to get
this surgery done now so he can get well sooner and not have to be on a feeding
tube for several weeks and then have to go back into the hospital for surgery
after that. I want to thank all of you
who have thought about us and helped us out.
I’m going to post daily updates on here to let you know how he is doing
each day.
Nov.9: He was able to
have broth for 2 days and today was told they will start giving him a little
bit of solids to see how he tolerates them.
He’s doing great. Possible
discharge is the beginning of next week.
