Randy might have leak and or absess

Amy you and your hubby have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since you posted about him the first time.  Thank you so much for giving us and update.  And as you know you have many, many friends here who are thinking and praying for you both daily.

Thank you so much.  My OH friends are so wonderful.  I just feel this big support out there and it makes all the difference when you know people are pulling for you.  thank you so much.  And you are doing great by the way.  Your ticker is starting to move!

No reason to freak, we're all saying prayers and we refuse to let anything bad happen.  Hope it will all be taken care of quickly and safely. 

 OMG I AM SO SORRY THAT ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS. DON'T WORRY BECAUSE RANDY HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING A PRAYER FOR HIM AND HE WILL BE FINE. ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU GUYS WILL LOOK BACK AT THIS YEAR AND GO "WHEW WE MADE IT" TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND IF YOU NEED ANYTHING I'M HERE FOR YOU!!

Amy - I am so sorry to hear this news.  I'm kind of late on this post but I hope that by now everything is ok.  I can't believe how much sweet, little Randy has been through!  He's had a rough ride!  Please know that I am thinking about you both and pray that he is better ASAP!  Keep us posted!

Good news! No leak or abscess.  However they beleive his pancreas was injured during his surgery and that there are pockets of pancreatic fluid in there.  They drained the fluid from around his lungs and will send it off.  The dr. said it didn't look infected to him.  They want him to get anothr CT scan in 3 weeks and then see the dr.  I figure his situation is not that dire or they wouldn't send him away for 3 weeks.  His white count is finally down to normal..7700.  Yea!!!  He said he feels great this afternoon and better than he has felt in days.

I am hoping and praying that all this fluid is absorbed from his body in the next 3 weeks and they don't have to do anything further.  Thank you everyone for your PMs, prayers, and thoughts.  I really love this group!

I am so glad that he's feeling better.  Hopefully it was a self sealing leak or they can invent some pancreatic fix a flat and he'll be good as new.

I'm so happy!  That is great news!
See?  Our prayers are answered!

That's wonderful news. They didn't put a chest tube in did they? Is he home? You guys try to have a relaxing weekend.

No chest tube and yes he is at home.  They just took a needle and went in through his back to draw out the fluid.  They didn't drain all of it just enough for a good sized sample.  I'm ready to have a fun day for a change!!
