Well rounds just left and here's he scoop. Dr. Huff thinks that by the end of the day we should have an answer on surgery. They are having the surgeons and the GI team come by today to review the case and bang heads at a high level to make a call. All signs point to surgery to remove the gall bladder. They may still scope her stomach out before the final decision is made. Today should be a pretty quie day with a few visits from surgeons and such, tonight we should have a more substantiative update.
The covering resident surgeon did come by last night and she was very nice and very informative. She said from the records she reviewed it was definite that Trish had colesystitis (sic, bad gall bladder). She said that sometimes they can wait up to six weeks to rest a sick gall bladder before removing it. Hopefully Trish's 1 1/2 weeks of gall bladder rest was good enough. Based on imaging it might have been.
Look for an update late today.
