Better

Tom came out of surgery about 4:00. Dr. Vanderkolk said that his gallbladder was very infected and that he was unable to determine whether he extracted all the gall stones. So far Tom does not have any problems, but his symptoms would persist if he were to still have a stone in his ducts. Tom was brought back up to his room at 4:50. He is doing very well. He is alert and is only complaining of the incision sites. His throat feels better tonight than yesterday after the endoscopy. We are hopeful that Tom is able to go home tomorrow. Tonight Tom is on a liquid diet. He will need to eat solid foods before they will release him. We'll have to see what tomorrow brings, but he is doing very well. Again I will keep you posted as we continue the Saga.
