Overnight, Mike developed a sharp pain on his right side wrapping around to his back. He asked me to pack an overnight bag this morning, certain we would need to stay overnight at Baptist. We called the oncologist, who was in LR today, and asked him if he felt anything more needed to be looked into.

All that was done today, was the biliary exchange. They told us the drain was completely blocked, and they felt this was the problem, with the pain in both the front and back. Everything went well with the procedure. Mike's blood pressure was low at first, but when checked again, came up enough to let them numb him for the procedure. It lasted about 1 1/2 hours. We were out of the center by 4 p.m., and out of LR before the traffic got too heavy.

I'm thankful everything went smoothly and I appreciate everyone praying for us. I'm a little concerned this evening, since Mike still has this pain in his back, when he tries to stand, or sit up. We'll just keep a sharp eye on it over the weekend. At least the oncologist is aware of it, if we need to call.
