The biliary exchange was done in LR this afternoon, on Mike's right tube, and was completed without any problems. His blood pressure was low, but they were able to keep him comfortable enough for the procedure. Thank you for praying for that.

For the first hour, following the procedure, Mike seemed fine. I thought the exchange was the fix we needed. But we quickly returned home, because Mike was feeling weak, tired, and was hurting pretty bad. He slept all the way home.

Once home, he became chilled and I noticed he had a fever of 100.7, so I got him into bed. I have been concerned, but Mike won't let me call the doctor. I tried to explain to him that his blood counts are probably low from his last treatment, and we shouldn't mess around with a temperature...but I'm not getting anywhere. I'm trying to get him to drink fluids, but he tells me he feels too full and can't. We do not have the emergency prescription of antibiotics (we usually have) to give to him, because we didn't receive insurance approval yet, and Mike wouldn't buy it. So I'm praying God will protect Mike overnight and bring this fever down.

Please pray with me that he'll be safe and will improve overnight.
