Mary was told this morning that she is being released today.
My thinking is that they'd keep her for at least a day or two longer to take more blood samples and see what direction this thing is going. Apparently not. They still don't know what it is that is causing the constrictions in her hepatic and bile ducts.
They told her she had an appointment with the surgeon on Friday so I guess that means they assume its slow moving whether its getting better (inflammation) or worse (tumor).
I am on my way to the hospital now. I have asked Mary's sister Reenie to change her plans and arrive earlier than Thursday. We'll see what the airlines allow her to do with the existing ticket.

Hi Pat,
A dear friend recently went through 6 months of pain and tests and it took about a week after gall bladder removal for quality of life to return to how things were before all the gastric distress.
I know this doesn't need to be said but I'll say it anyway - be as aggressive as you can to determine a diagnosis (I would pull in a differential diagnosis expert immediately and/or visit Mayo's Arizona clinic.)
Be sure you have duplicates of all of Mary's results that you can fax off to the experts prior to an in office visit.
Best of luck! You and Mary are in my thoughts. With you as her champion, she's in great hands.
