On Friday, July 20 (Happy Birthday to me!) Big Bird had an ERCP in San Antonio. Things went ok, they found that his left half of his liver is completely scarred from cirrhosis, and there was minuscule openings on his right side of the liver. They did place a stent, but were not confidant that it would do any good (surprise there-I really don't know why some doctors just can't listen). Well, later Friday night the pain from the ERCP was so intense that we made a trip to the ER he also had an added symptom of nausea, after 6 hours, we did get to go home. Of course Big Bird was no longer in pain with thanks to morphine.
Yesterday was better, but he pain made an appearance again today. Looks like we will be heading to SA again soon. Hopefully they can see him this week, otherwise, I will have to leave Mom & Big Bird to fend for themselves as it will be hard for me to escape work for 10 days while Miss Edie is seeing the wonders of Alaska (this is where I submit mass amounts of jealousy).
