Dave had his ERCP done on Friday, May 13th and was only in the hospital over night! What a huge blessing and answered prayer. Dr. Hutchins took out the stent and replaced it with a stent that has a larger diameter. He said that this ERCP was a challenge where the T-tube was placed in 2008 is like a cork screw and constricted also and will need repaired in the future as well as the bile duct in the pancreas. He talked with Dr. Grant about possibilities. They decided it would be best to present Dave's case to a group of doctors (from liver transplant) to come up with the best option for him. That may happen as early as Monday the 16th or possibly the 23rd. Please be praying for wisdom for the doctors. Dave's WBC started to climb, so they sent him home on antibiotics. He will have to have this stent changed in 6 to 8 weeks. He has an appointment on June 3rd to have an ultrasound of his pseudo cysts and to see Dr. Stothert.
