So Dad was scheduled to have his Gall Bladder removed today at 12:00 p.m. They were hoping to do it all laproscopically, but depending on how it goes, they might have to cut him open and/or place a drain. Becky will call me after the surgery to let me know how it went and what his recovery time will be.
His blood counts went up a bit after his transfusion yesterday, but his liver values were a bit off - a side effect of the malfunctioning gall bladder. The liver values were better today, so they felt he was safe to have the surgery. After they remove his gall bladder, his blood counts should bounce back to healthier levels.
UPDATE: Out of surgery, they were able to do it all laproscopically, and it went great. The surgeon even showed Becky pictures of the before and after!
