Happy Birthday Grandpa Jim!

Kenzie had a CT scan this morning followed by a trip across the hall to floroscopy to place an NJ tube to replace the transpyloric that just never made it through the stomach as was thought yesterday. (Mommy knew it wasn't in the right place all along though!). Feeds have not begun until the mystery of the CT has been resolved. There is an abscess in her body cavity just outside her bladder. The question remains if it is made up of only fluid, stool, pus or any other infectious material (I know totally gross!) that could be easily drained, or fluid encased in tissue that can't just be drained along with the question of how to go about getting to it. Surgically, laproscopically or could radiology just be able to reach it and drain it.... This leaves us with even more unanswered questions than we started with morning! Hopefully in the bar where all the doctors are hanging out tonight they're coming up with some creative ideas.(Or at least playing for surgical privileges over a game of darts!) I swear some day I'm going to get my hands on the address of that bar!
