Hello family and friends. Yesterday we drove to Kaiser hospital in Portland to have Michael’s biliary drains replaced. It went very well. He told me he won the nurse lottery. A man named John who was expert with IVs and blood work. He said the bilirubin was in the normal range. Excellent news. There were no additional things (like biopsies) performed so we were able to leave around 11AM (arrived at 7AM). However, on the way home fevers and shakes happened. This is pretty typical for Michael after a procedure, his body likely dealing with the anesthetics used and detoxing from that. This morning no fever, he is just a bit worn out.
Thankful for every day we have to experience life! And thank you for your prayers. I am pretty sure someone must have asked for a fabulous nurse. The doctor was great too. Side note: Looking forward to Michael getting the new hearing aids we ordered!
