Irv Update - September 2011 #6

Dear F&F; Irv had a rocky night. Today at 9:00 AM he is scheduled for a CT scan to check out his abdomen. It isn't getting any larger, but they are concerned about fluid collection, and to check the drain placement. Bile is still draining which is good. He is on a couple of antibiotics in case of infection. Heart rate was stable overnight. He finally started urinating after midnight. After 4 liters of fluid that was a good sign! Still not as much fluid as they expected so that is another reason for the CT scan. As I mentioned, NO VISITORS, except adult family members. I guess that is standard on this cardiac floor, not just for Irv. When I see any docs or hear the results of the CT I'll pass the information along. Penny
