Today was a tough one to swallow. Dr. Numnum informed us that we are now to the point of having to making a decision. One that we had hoped we would not have to make. Basically, Peri is not improving. If we continue to do what we are doing, the outcome will be painful and over on a few weeks. So we need to weigh the options of surgery. We met with the surgeon and Dr Numnum this afternoon. They will start surgery around 8am tomorrow morning. The intent is to try to bypass the blockage to get Peri to a place of being able to eat and be more comfortable. There are several risks and variables with this type surgery. They range from not being able to do anything, to having a successful bypass and therefore relief. As always, there are a list of possible complications that I will choose to stay away from at the moment. Peri has said that she is not done fighting and wants to have the surgery as soon as possible. We have faith in both of these Dr.’s that this will be a success. Recovery should be 1-2 weeks. Depends on what all has to be done. I will keep everyone posted tomorrow once we have information. She may be in ICU following the surgery. either way, visitors will be limited. As always, please pray for Peri. I had hoped that this could be avoided….
