Hi Martha,

I actually considered this but says that I had better not do

this because I better graduate in May and have all A's. He is really

proud of me for getting my MBA.

I will postpone the Thank You cards.

Just wish me luck getting through the next little while. I still

don't know when the ERCP will be. I did get a call today though that

they are going to wait until they do the ERCP to see if they need to

do an MRCP.

I spoke with both of the couples we are considering as guardians for

Melody if we were not able to care for her and one of the couples

said 'Of course, they love Melody and of course they would take her.'

the other couple is still discussing it. It kind of hurts my

feelings that they do not seem like they would want her. But, they

are here and her other family is here and the other couple is in the

mountains. I think Melody would be happy to be with the couple in

the mountains but she would really miss her family and friends here.

I will keep the board posted once we have the date for the ERCP.

Now for my question. When had his colon surgery in 2004 it

took a long time and after the surgery the surgeon said that although

they would have to wait for the full pathology report that during the

procedure he kept sending specimens to pathology for them to look at

right then and that all the ones they looked at during the procedure

indicated inflammation and not cancer. What are we likely to know on

the day of the ERCP? has only had one of these in 2005 and

they did not do anything except look. Should we be prepared for the

possibility of him staying overnight and what factors would lead to

an overnight stay?

Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards,

Nichole (wife of )
