Hes back from Interventional radiology. Im not sure if they just placed a drain or if they also placed a Stent in the bile duct, in case it was clogged. IR, is busy and the nurse said they havent written anything in the notes yet. But the drain the placed is going to help with all the fluid he has in his body and in his abdomen. Where the bruising is on his sides. The skin has gotten so soft that its starting to bleed, which means the skin is breaking. So this the drain will help with this fluid. He is still on the paralysis drug and heavily sedated and still intubated. As I like to call it. Hes slightly comatosed. He can hear and feel but cant move or open his eyes. :( They took him off the paralysis drug earlier to see if he would move or twitch, it took about an hour and 20 minutes till you saw his heart rate and breathing jump way up, then he started slightly twitching. Which is what they wanted to see. So after that they started back up the paralysis drug. Hes getting better just very slowly.
