I spoke with dad’s doctor this morning (Dr. Smith). They did insert the catheter yesterday and his gallbladder is draining well now. They expect the gallbladder will have to be removed in a few days but want to let the antibiotics work their way through and relieve as much of the problem as possible before the removal. The doctor expects they will perform the surgery either this Friday or the first of next week. I will be in town tomorrow afternoon so I will be able to be there for the surgery. The doctor said his vitals signs are good and that he is doing much better than when he arrived last Sunday. He didn’t expect any difficulties from the surgery and overall dad’s prognosis is very favorable.
