Kaelyn came out of surgery yesterday around 12:30 pm. The IR Docs were able to get the stent through the stenosis and into her intestines. They did the angio (balloon) dilitation and opened up the blockage. The rest of her bile ducts still look great. That is music to my ears! They say that this tube should not clog up as easily as with her last liver because of the way the bile ducts look. There should be little to no sluffing and so less icky stuff to clog up the tube. The plan is to change the tube once a month (which was the plan with the last liver, but we could never make it that long). Hopefully all will go as planned. She was discharged from the hospital this afternoon and we are now home. She is having some pain from the procedure but is doing better today than she was last night.
Good news!
Angie
