So yesterday, we got news about what the mass under Brady's liver was... if anyone wants to guess I'm going to tell you that you are probably wrong. His mass was made up of stool (aka poop), pretty gross right? They got 2/3rds of the mass out, the other third we are still discussing best way to get rid of it. For now we are going to stick with his antibiotics and we will see if the other options are needed (such as operation or sucking it out through a needle).
We did do a contrast study today, it was not fun looking at all. Brady had to endure them going up through the rectum, and filling his intestines with a dye solution to check for leaks. We were able to get the large intestines done today, and if the dye clears up by tomorrow then we will be able to check the small intestines tomorrow.
We were very scared for a little bit becuase if they had found a tear or hole in the intestines that would mean that he would need surgery on his intestines. They are thinking that there was a tear or leak at one time and that's where the stool leaked out from. In a few weeks we will be able to tell whether or not his has any damaged intestinal tissue that they will have to do surgery on.
I had finally hit a meltdown moment last night, the reason for your lack of update. I'm sorry, but I wasn't thinking of the blog when I was freaking out over whether or not we might have a surgery. :( He is other wise doing well, though he is angry at the world for the trick this morning of sticking things where they don't belong. ;)
I will update again soon. Thank you everyone.
I don't know how you deal with it all! You are superwoman in my eyes! I would have a meltdown every day I'm sure.
