So Saturday poor Mr. Mo was pretty miserable even with three pain medications and three anti-nausea medications to deal with the pain and nausea caused by the urine in his abdomen. The doctor called Saturday afternoon and said if he hadn’t improved by Sunday, they were going to push to let him go so he wouldn’t suffer. Since all the pain and nausea was being caused by the hole the tube tore coming out of his kidney, we decided that he should go back into surgery and get that taken care of, which would also allow us to find out if his prior surgery was successful or not. He seemed slightly less nauseated on Sunday, and even played some with his little green puff-balls that we finally remembered to bring from home for him.
Now for the awesome news. No surgery today after all! They said he’d be having surgery today, barring miraculous recovery. So maybe all those prayers and happy thoughts for Mr. Mo are working! He has less fluid coming from tube that’s draining urine from his abdomen and more coming from kidneys (they didn’t remove the tube yet even though it came out of his kidney since it is continuing to drain his abdomen). He has less fluid in his abdomen & around his kidney than Friday. The hole in his kidney from tube looks better on ultrasound. And he’s acting like he’s feeling better too. So for now just gonna increase his iv nutrition calories and see how it goes, and drain some more fluid from around his lungs from the pneumonia so he can breath easier. So it’s back to the waiting game, but we’re hoping he can keep moving in the right direction and that he’s used up all his bad luck.
