no surgery...

...but so far we still on the "wait and see" list. poor guy still can't eat or drink anything!!!

they did a barium swallow test and that came back negative...so however the air got into the esophagus it apparently can't get out the same way. there is no sign of a leak or tear that they can find. (this is good). the surgeon docs are happier but not yet willing to get him off the watch list.

the hemoc (cancer) docs figure that since we already have a bed (these are hard to come by) we might as well stay in and get the chemo. the only problem is that they can't get a central line inserted until monday at the earliest so we wait...

hopefully sunday we will get a final answer from the surgeons and a final answer from the hemoc's and we can get this process of fixing him started. needless to say this has not exactly been the weekend we were hoping for...you know that "last wishes" weekend before the dreaded chemo...

hope that was not too confusing...i am way too tired to re-read this tonight.

i will update when we know more.

thanks for checking in...
