Exhausted! 11:30pm Friday

Good evening everyone. Ill give you a quick run down on Dad today... The docs said that he had a very high heart rate this morning and they needed to work on getting it down. They decided to "shock it down" which was very successful. That was quite a scare for us today... after that was taken care of by the very dedicated team of doctors, they decided to move forward with putting in the larger stents to help drain the bile which is causing the infection. That was also successful. Per doctors order... we are back in the hotel resting and looking forward to the results of the procedure and whether they can remove the tumor. Dad is resting in the ICU tonight in good hands. Thank you everyone for all your thoughts and prayers... please understand if we have not returned some of your phone calls. Our cell phones are our main connection to the doctors and we need them as open as possible. Keep the prayer train going... Deb, Brad, and Matt

Latest Update 1:30pm

Ok everyone... Dad went into surgery about 30 mins ago. They are giving him larger stents in order to drain the bile more effectively. We will have an update this evening when we know more. Afterwards they would like to put him into ICU if they have room to keep an eye on his heart rate which is side effect of all thats going on. So thanks to everyone who has sent flowers to his room! Please hold off until furthur notice as we are homeless for the next few hours and they do not allow anything in ICU. Thanks for your prayers... We need as many as possible.
