More Info

Looks like Sherman is going to have to have surgery to remove the stone and the stent. For some reason the stone didn't show up in the C-scan but it is there. It is stuck in the end of the stent that the dr. tried to remove in his office. Now we know why it did not all come out.

I don't know yet when the surgery will be - have to get clearance from his Red Oak dr. and do the chest x-ray, etc. The surgery will be at Charlton Methodist in Dallas (Duncanville). He will have to spend at least one night.

This is all I know right now. More later.

Sherman Update

Hi again,

I finally have something to report. I have been waiting until we found out something from the urologist. We had the appt. today and he said the c-scan we did last week did not show a kidney stone in the right kidney. We had the option of taking the stent out (which has been in to long) in the office or scheduling day surgery with anes. I was trying to avoid having him put to sleep so we all talked about it and decided to remove the stent in the office. That did not work out as well as planned. He had about 80% of it out and it broke. If was very painful for Sherman. We have to go Monday to Charlton and get another abdominal x-ray to see where the remainder of the stent is and then take the x-ray and go to the urologist office and decide what we will do next. I see it as day surgery with anes in out future.

Please pray that Sherman will be able to endure being put to sleep and it will be easy to get the remainder of the stent and that the x-ray is right and there is no kidney stone. I am not looking forward to any of this. Sherman is on pain medication and anti-botics now. When I left he had had a shower and was in bed asleep.

Thank you for your prayers and concerns,
Love,
Dolores
