And yet another stressful day! Dad’s bleeding intensified overnight. They managed to replace his drain tubes this afternoon. During that procedure they figured out that the plastic stent had repositioned and was causing the bleeding. I sure hope they are right! They will do a separate procedure to replace his plastic stent with the metal wall stent when they’d feel dad is ready! He has been sleeping mostly since the procedure that ended late afternoon. I hope tomorrow is a better day. We are all exhausted from all the stress and worry! It’s so hard watching mom & dad go through all of this. I read a recent post that said this disease SUCKS! I couldn’t agree more!!!!
Rena,
Thinking of you and your family and hoping for more positive news about your dad’s condition very soon.
Love & Hugs,
DarlaThinking of you Rena, your Dad is in the best place for this to be sorted out. Keeping everything crossed he’s back home soon. Stay positive.
Hugs

Rena….I have learned that people with biliary tract disease have a high risk for pancreatitis. We also have numerous reports on this site. I am crossing my fingers for things to resolve quickly and sending tons of hugs your way.
MarionI am sorry for all of your Dad’s trials, but hopefully the doctors will figure things out and make him feel better. Prayers for all of you.
Love, -Pam
Oh, Dear Rena, I am so sorry. Sorry that anyone has to go through all this “extra” krap as if having CC is not enough! It sounds as though they have identified the culprit though and that is a good thing. From what I understand Pancreatitis is extremely painful. Doubling up on the prayers. Be strong!
It was a very long and rough night for my family. They ended up transporting Dad to Columbus in an ambulance and he is in Intensive Care. It’s been a challenge to control his stomach pain and fevers. They have determined that he has pancreatitis for starters. His lab work came back all out of whack including his bile levels. He is very jaundice again. He is having a CT Scan done right now in hopes of determining what is causing the internal bleeding and to check things before they do any additional procedures that are needed. It’s a goal to replace his external drain tubes and replace his plastic stent with a metal one. His drain has lightened up a bit in the last hour and less blood seems to be visible. Hopefully this is a good sign. But the blood that drained into his bags overnight was very alarming!
Thanks for your prayers & support!
RenaDear Rena,
I am so sorry to hear what your dad is going through right now. I so hope that the docs can get to the bottom of what is causing all of this and get it sorted immediately. Please stay strong and know that we are here for you. Let us know how things go and loads of positive thoughts are coming your way from me.
Hugs,
Gavin
Rena…..Fingers are crossed on this end too. Hoping for the bleeding to be stopped quickly.
Tons of hugs,
MarionOh my goodness, Rena, I can’t even begin to make a guess on this latest development. Just know that I am praying and anxiously awaiting to hear what is going on. Be strong!
It’s been another crazy day! This afternoon as Dad was getting dressed, blood started pouring out from the sides of his drain tubes. He has been on an antibiotic for a few days now for an infection. Once at the ER, it was determined that he needed to be treated at the cancer center and after talking with his Dr. he ordered for him to be transported to the OSU Cancer Center (about 75 miles from their home). I am a nervous wreck and waiting to hear from my mom what’s going on. Mom said that he has turned very jaundice again and having stomach pain. I pray that he is ok!
