K and the Gall Stones

K had gall bladder removal surgery today. She had some nausea during the day and even up to dinner time, was unable to keep any liquids down. This alone would have kept her int he hospital overnight. Everything went rather as expected but during recovery, the Doc told me that there appeared to be an inflamed duct indicating recent gall stone activity.

Because of this, they are keeping K in the hospital tonight and going to do a endoscopic test tomorrow making sure that either the stone has cleared or they will clear it. So for tonight, K is in the hospital, feeling rather badly after the surgery.

On a positive note, she did have half of a fruit smoothie this evening that she was able to hold down.

More updates tomorrow.

Ugh! Hope she's doing better today! My GB surgery didn't have any complications, but I still felt like I was run over by a truck for the first 48 hours or so.
