Doing Great

Per the Doc Maverick did  really well during surgery.  They had to intibate Maverick and then they were able to go in through the esophagus with a scope and camera and they were able to cut a slit in the end of a bulging bile duct.  Doctor said when he made the cut bile and crud flowed out forcefully.  They think they saw one stone flow through, which was probably what was blocking the duct.  There were no complications, except they had to switch scopes half way through cause the one they started with was too big.  Maverick came out of sedation just fine. 

 Doctors were worried he might develop pancreatitis since sometimes after this procedure that happens but Maverick did not develop any symptoms of it over night.  He also ate very well and did not appear to be in pain.  I am so proud of that little guy!!

  We still had a rough night because every time we tried to lay him down in the crib he was fine but as soon as you tried to put up the loud rails he woke up.  My mom and I took turns sitting in the recliner sleeping holding Mav (in the recliner that didn't recline might I mention).  Labs were drawn this morning and his billirubin was back down to .6 and all other values were good per doc.  Yeah!!   They have started Maverick on some medicine to try to get the sludge out of his gallbladder and the Dr. wants us to follow up with an ultrasound in 6 weeks.  They say we will get to go home sometime today.  Thank you everyone for your continued prayers, God has once again provided for, protected, and loved my little Maverick and brought him through this like a champ.  Thank you God!!
