Friday at noon


As I wrote yesterday, Mary has a wonderful room and a floor to ceiling window looking out on a secret garden. There are flowers in bloom and the sun has a very nice effect on her room.
She came back from her MRCP (MRI) at 12:15 or so. The results of that procedure plus all the other stuff they did yesterday will lead to a decision for yet another ERCP (#4) currently scheduled at 3PM. This timing is a function of the ERCP facility being available rather than any magic decision time.
They have added dextrose to her IV to provide some energy. She has not eaten since Wednesday morning and her blood sugar level was low. Lack of food for several days can cause that!
She is not in love with the MRI/MRCP system. Hard board to lay on in a tunnel while the machine bangs and bongs. Mary has just decided to ask for some pain and nausea meds given the aftermath of the MRI process.
My assumption is that we shall see some doctors show up soon as they make the decision to perform ERCP #4. I'll post as soon as we know.
