Update from Bobbi re: Chris via CaringBridge - THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 2009 02:51 PM, CDT

There's not much to report today. His numbers are better. He had an ultrasound of his liver earlier but of course we don't know anything from that yet. He is scheduled to have the biopsy and ERCP tomorrow. They want his INR to be better before they do either because of the risk of bleeding. They've drained a total of 11 liters so far! Right now the drainage tube is disconnected because he's getting some Vitamin K and will be getting blood at some point to help his blood clot. They'll reconnect the tube later and we'll see then how much more they get.

Someone just came in and changed his bandage where his wound is open. She said it looked really good. I asked if she wanted to come home with us and change it because I don't want to. I don't usually have a weak stomach but for some reason that really bothers me. I guess the 'good' thing is, he's still pretty numb around that area so he can't feel it very much when I'm mucking around in there.

I'll update more later when I know more!
