No Cholecystectomy

Angela's HIDA scan showed her gallbladder to be working fine, so she won't be having it removed. It is still unclear what has made her liver enzymes shoot up and her eyes turn yellow, but the eyes, at least, are better today.

I have found a gripe about Mercy Hospital - it is next to impossible to get Physical Therapy on Sunday. So Angela spent the day without walking. We did a little exercising of her legs and she stood, with help, a few times. Actually, she was able to have a regular chest x-ray, standing. Her first non-portable chest x-ray, I believe.

She had been kept NPO since yesterday afternoon because of the possibility of surgery, so the clear liquids that they allowed her this evening tasted quite good.

Maybe tomorrow we'll get some answers. In the meantime, her spirits are good, and she feels fine.

We continue to be grateful to God for the healing He is providing.
