K and the Gall Stones, Update

K ended up spending last night in the hospital as today the doctor is going to do a ERCP. That means that there was an escapee gall stone that was left over from the laparoscopic procedure that needed to come out. They do this by endoscope (the E in the above acronym). The doctor either destroys or extracts the stone, but one way or the other, it means another painful procedure.

It was done on K at about 1:30 PM today and the Doc says that everything is now fine. This miscreant stone is the probable reason that K had such bad nausea after the initial removal and over night. Now that this is done, K seems in good spirits, is eating liquids without nausea and if she can eat solid foods later this evening or tomorrow AM, should be home by noon.

Thanks for the calls, thoughts and prayers for K. We appreciate the concerns.
