06.15.2017 update

We’ve hit a snag in starting treatment. In lab work today, Maggie’s urine showed signs of a UTI (which we suspected starting yesterday), but, more seriously, it showed signs that the biliary stent is not working (several components that should NOT be in urine are there). So, Maggie’s team is recommending we replace the stent and get it working properly prior to starting the clinical trial. It is not emergent yet but could go downhill quickly. There are no slots open to have this performed outpatient today or tomorrow. However, she can be admitted through the ER and have it performed endoscopically as inpatient. We’re preparing to go now for admission. We won’t know the schedule for the procedure until we meet with the GI team in the hospital. I’ll post an update as soon as we know. Thank you for prayers. We already had a BIG one answered in hearing this will take place by tomorrow. Until then….

PRAYING, Melissa… so thankful they will be able to be proactive in resolving this “hiccup.” Prayerfully hoping the procedure goes smoothly and for NO infection, clear urine, and quick proceeding to clinical trial for Maggie!

As always, we are praying!! Taking refuge in the fact that we serve a God that has already walked into tomorrow. He knows that plan. Praying fervently for his plan to be revealed super quick and peace! Sending lots of love to all of y’all!!
