Wednesday Afternoon

Mary is finally coming out of the effect of the happy juice. Her body just doesn't like that stuff. We'll have to give feedback for future procedures that they must find a better way. Mary didn't have the same degree of difficulty with ERCP #1 and the stuff they used for #2 was a breeze. For this #3, it really put her down for about 30 hours.

Mary is eating, drinking and generally is awake now. The food is staying with her, no problem there. And, she said there is no pain at the moment which would possibly mean the new stent is not causing the same difficulty as the old pair of stents. However, the pain may be from the gallbladder and cystic duct and could emerge at any moment.

Based on Mary being in pretty good shape, Lara, Maddy and Emma headed home to Pasadena just a few minutes ago. They've got about a 5 hour drive so dinner will be a bit late tonight.

No word from Stanford on next steps.
