Last Surgery Over! (Knock On Wood)

Hopefully Jamie is done with surgeons.  She had a bile duct stent put in.  The last tests shows bile leaking from into her abdomen.  This was very painful and was irritating her pancreas.  The stent was put in endoscopically and will have to be taken out in a few weeks, but in the mean time it will give her duct a chance to heal on its own.  The 6am blood test tomorrow should give us good news at 10am when the doc comes to let us know the results.  Under the best of all possible circumstances Jamie might be released on Saturday but Sunday might be a better bet.  After the surgery, Jamie came back to the room and was much more aware than the rest of the day.  After some cuddle time with Isabell, it was time to get Jamie ready to sleep.  Its looking pretty good.

Complications. Complications. Complications.

After some excruciating pain. Jamie turns out to have Pancreatitis too.  Some time and lots of pain killers later, Jamie seems to be finally getting better. She’s at least talking in full sentances again.   Carrie, my sister-in-law deserves saint status for watching Isabell for us the entire weekend and even taking Monday off work just to stay home with her while I stay with Jamie.

Shes under the knife

The Doc took her back about 1pm and should be finished about 2pm. Maybe while they have her there they could cut out her stubborn streak too? 😉

Jamie is getting ready for surgery

Well, it seems that Jamie has gallstones. Who knew she was THAT old!?  Anyway, after a few pain problems during pregnancy, we finally found out that its caused by gallstones. So here we are.  Jamie is going in to have a few ounces of organ removed, she calls it her moms weight loss plan since my mother-in-law has had a few organs removed as well.  Its a short easy surgery, so Jamie isn’t too worried.  I asked if I could watch because, hey, that looks fun to see. Apparently no, I can’t watch. Oh well.  It looks like we’ll be in the hospital overnight because of some extenuating circumstances just in case.

All hooked up and no where to go.

Day 2

Some people in Jamies family are in awe of Isabells brown hair. Apparently its pretty rare for someone related to Jamies family to have anything other than blonde hair and blue eyes.  Isabell has been wonderful today. She’s been pretty quiet and hungry all the time, but not much fussing.

We brought her home Sunday night about 8pm.   Waiting for us when we pulled into our neighborhood was:
