Just got a phone call from my very tired and worn out daughter. She has just left the hospital where her hubby was admitted for gallstones and a diagnosis of Hepatitis. They are pretty sure the gall bladder needs to come out but being a small hospital and the weekend who knows when it will happen. He is stable right now and heavily medicated for the pain.

I told her to make sure they deal with it ASAP in the morning or to take him to Baptist Hospital in Nashville. She said she already thought of that. I am very concerned about him and the Hepatitis. They just told him he had it but didn't tell him what type. SIGH!! Small hospital again.

So keep my son in law and daughter and their family in your prayers. I will keep you updated as I know more.

you got it Penni

All my positive and healing thoughts heading your way, Penni.

Sending good thoughts and vibes to you and your family.

Prayers for him right away. Keep us posted and strength to your daughter as well.

Oh my !!! of course you have my prayers

Sending prayers that way! Any more news on him today?

I talked to my daughter yesterday and they have ruled out Hepatitis. They do know his gallbladder needs removing but not sure when it will happen.

His color is much better and he isn't in as much pain. He is stable right now.

I will keep you posted on the outcome.

Prayers for a very quick and full recovery!

OK another update: Just talked to Alicia, my daughter. She is exhausted by the way. She is running on fumes at this point. Jennifer, the ex, is helping out at home along with Danny, a good friend of the family. The kids are pitching in when they can.

Wayne, son in law, did not have the gallbladder surgery today as initially planned. His Amylase and Lipase levels are off the charts. Both of those are pancreas enzymes as well as liver enzymes. My speculation is that a gallstone has temporarily blocked the Pancreatic Duct along with the bile duct and is causing the Pancreas to work overtime to produce the two enzymes mentioned. He is in pain related to the Gallstones and now with the pancreas being agitated he is on a Demerol drip. Of course now he is nauseated from the Demerol. I gave Alicia some suggestions to help relieve some of the nausea related to the Demerol. She said she will discuss it with her doctor tomorrow.

She is so tired that she really doesn't know what she needs. All she kept saying is pray for him. He is not in a life threatening situation but it is affecting his entire body. His kidneys could be affected next just because that is how the body works. It is trying to flush out those nasty stones and in turn causes the rest of the body to over produce and under work. They won't do the surgery till his levels are lower and he is more stable. His blood pressure was elevated and he was treated for it. He just feels like crap right now.

Hugs to all

Penni
