Hello dear friends and family!
Please join us in Praising the Lord!
I'll try to keep to the simple facts though there is so much to tell!
The great news is:
1. Jerry survived the procedure.PTL!
2. The GI doctor "fixed' the pancreatic anomalies and is sure his efforts have stemmed Jerry's abdominal pains...There was no actual stone...some calcifications and two tiny sphincters that were cut to allow proper enzyme flow.....the weird news is that the pancreatic duct which is supposed to be 2 mm wide was 2 inches wide...wow....overstimulated and no he didn't drink to excess to get to this place so the cause is also a mystery but it's OK now!!! PTL!
3. Jerry is now on a ventilator which is driving him crazy! The breathing tube down his throat is so frustrating, Itreminds me of my attempts at snorkeling!! So they are sedating him so he can rest comfortably.PTL!
4 The goal now will be to reduce the amount of oxygen he is on so they can remove the respirator and get him breathing on his own! (i am hoping for tomorrow but we'll see!)
5. Best of all, his O2 saturations are 97-100% now where before they were in the 80s and scary
and his Blood pressure and brain activity are also within normal limits-PTL!
More news when I get it. Thanks for standing in prayer with us today especially. It's been a long one. I apologize for the lateness of the email but he just finally got comfortabl at 10:30 pm tonite!
I was fully supported today, so don't worry about me...Michelle and Mark were here, along with my 2 sisters and a sister in law. Long day for all of us but on we go to the next advenrture.
He's not completely out of the woods yet so keep praying!
Thanks!
Love,
Betty Lou
