Well here we sit waiting for Les to go in. Almost noon, we've been here since 8:30. A couple little glitches.....but a really nice nurse here with us. Les hasn't eaten since 4:30 last night-he is hungry!! He had to drink barium twice last night. When the doctor was telling us the risks, Les put his fingers in his ears. We don't want to hear what could go wrong - we just want this done today!!
So, now it's 3 and I'm sure some of you are anxiously waiting! The patient before us had complications so we sat in the pre-op for 4 hours. They finally took Les at 2, I went to get something to eat and sat outside - fresh air!! Les' nurse texted me to call or come back to talk to the surgeon. NOW WHAT?? Turns out the barium went through Les (very unusual). Normally they send the patient back home with more barium and send them home......but they are instead giving him a barium enema and will still attempt the surgery. We both agreed to this and so off they went again. Please pray for success today!!
