Anybody had this procedure done?

I don't know what it's called. I'm not able to be at the hospital right now with

for 2

reasons-he has c diff and we got nearly a foot of snow last night. Anyway, when

the doctors

saw him this morning they said that if he continues spiking fevers, they will

have to go into

his liver and dig out some of the stones. They talked about doing an ERCP but

they spoke with

the ERCP team who said there was no reason to do one. Apparently his liver, as

well as the

bile ducts are full of stones. The ERCP team felt that given the risks, it just

wasn't worth it

because they wouldn't be able to remove very many of the stones. He is scared to

death of

having them go digging around in his liver and I can't say as I blame him. It

sounds horribly

painful! Hopefully they'll be able to get him listed soon and he'll get a new

liver and that

won't be necessary. Just wondering if anyone else has ever had this done?
