We broke him out!
So earlier today the doctors all agreed that there was no reason to continue to keep him in the hospital. They aren't quite sure what's up, but they know he doesn't need to stay any longer.
On to the Baffling...
The pocket, as they referred to it, is not in his colon and isn't a perforation! Praise. It is actually in the lining between the abdomen organs. And this 1.8 cm pocket when they attempted to aspirate it and remove the "fluid" they believe it encompassed, they found none. In fact, they put a larger gage needle in and tried to draw more out but couldn't.
They could only get what the Interventional Radiologist called "debris." Basically, little clumps of tissue just hanging around in the enclosed pocket. So the tissue samples that they gathered were sent to pathology.
We wait on those results, but in general they don't think this is something extremely harmful to him. So they released him today with more oral antibiotics, just in case!
So we didn't tell the girls and still went down to celebrate Audrey's birthday with him, but the biggest present of all was getting to bring him home!
Happy Birthday Audrey! Happy Homecoming Alan!
