Yet another surgery...
When mom went in for her procedure last week, they were not able to place the drain tube because her blood was too thin. She takes Coumadin to keep her blood thin enough to fight the blood clots, however some of the other medicines she takes interacted with the Coumadin making her blood way too thin. It is back to where it should be now. They found a lot of infection so they did put a P.I.C.C. line in to administer a very strong antibiotic. They have also scheduled her for surgery on Thursday to remove her gallbladder and to place the drain tube that they were not able to place on Monday. Her gallbladder is full of infection and that is why they are removing it. She was feeling so yucky and having such high fevers, but she is feeling SOOO much better now. Yay! She's not exactly thrilled about having another surgery, but it's going to be good to get the infected gallbladder out and the other drain tube in to hopefully help the liver start to heal itself. You are such a trooper mom!
