No news

Like the title of this posting says - no news. Donna is still at the hospital, on a liquid diet, just lounging around. (well, not exactly "lounging") Not sure what we are waiting for but you can be sure we are all "sittin on ready!". The doctor came in late last night (after 11:00 p.m.) and said - test results indicate gallstone blockage, your physical pain does not indicate this. (The pain is not in the typical place for gallstones.) If she was any other patient, with the same symptoms, they would have already scheduled surgery. Of course, Donna isn't the typical patient, she has to do things "her" way and bottom line is - they don't want to put her through any more surgery again, unless absolutely necessary. Meanwhile, they have called in a Gastro doctor to study the facts and offer solutions.
She is having bouts of pain and nausea but being kept very comfortable by medication. So, like we said - Donna is just sitting and waiting and being watched by the best of the best. We'll keep you posted.
