I woke at 6 this morning. Jim called at 7 - he had an x-ray of his abdomen at 5:30, which still shows some blockage. The doctor will compare today's x-ray with yesterday's and go from there.
I called Kenway Service and Drain Cleaning at 8 and they will squeeze me in to check out our sewer issue.
From one blockage to another blockage.
Plumber just called - 8:15 ... they're coming now! Thank you Lord!
8:50 a.m. - the line is open! Just everyday stuff clogged in the drain. And the price was reasonable! Now to turn on the air and get some bleach to get rid of the smell.
Thank you so much Don and Carol, Lorraine and Bob and so many more.
I didn't get up to see Jim until 2 this afternoon. Dr. Yerkes never came back after this morning's visit - believe he was in surgery most of the day. The only order that came in was to re-insert the foley catheter. He apparently hasn't been able to void on his own since Monday morning and I guess it was decided might as well put the foley in rather than doing a straight cath.
Bile has stopped coming out of the NG tube, his stomach doesn't cramp as much, he doesn't need the anti-nausea or pain medicine as often. It looks like things are improving, but .... he will more than likely have another x-ray tomorrow of his abdomen.
I am working tomorrow, so won't get up to see him until closer to 7 p.m. I will try to update when we visit via phone.
