Hospital visit

[just1more]

Well, have had had an abdominal ultrasound w/ Doppler (to check the level of portal hypertension) and started IV's.
<br />
<br />We are doing: Merenopem (Merrem) & Ceftazidime (Fortaz) every 8 hours IV; and Levaquin IV 1x/day.
<br />
<br />He is scheduled for a endoscopy tomorrow to look for and band any varices; and they are expecting pulmonology to probably do a bronch while he is asleep. They are also going to insert the PICC during the same sedation so we get it all done in one fell swoop.
<br />
<br />Here's to a successful multi-Dr session in the morning so we can get stable and get moving towards home!

M just went for surgery.  He was supposed to go at 11am.  He was being worked in, so you know how that goes.
At 2pm, Heptalogy decided they wanted FFP before surgery, so they had to give that too.
Doctors said probably 2 hours for everything, scope, bronch and a PICC under general.  We'll know more when he comes out.

Well....lungs looked good: good bit of creamy white mucous, but no blood and lungs were "nice & pink".

Gi found 2 varices that were inflamed but not actively bleeding. They banded both and he is back in the room & resting.

Thank u all for your thoughts. Gonna be here at least the rest of the week.
