They did some tests on Trey and have mixed news that adds up to this: they are going to continue treat him and do more tests.
They have found gangrene in his pancrease which they have taken samples of to culture. It will take a couple of days for it to grow and will help them choose between two types of operations. Draining the gangrene or surgically removing the infected parts.
I’ve been told neither is a good option, but there have been good signs. He was taken off sedation yesterday and became responsive in many ways. He looked around, staired at a get well balloon and followed people with his eyes. He also beathed on his own a little bit. The doctors say everything is working accept his pancreas, which was a concern.
Jennifer had done a bunch of reading about the process and for those of us who worry about the quality of doctors, according to what little we know they seem to be doing exactly what they should be. Treys condition was already a bit severe to take things slowly, but they seem to be on track with aspirations ( drawing fluid with needles) and their choice of what do next.
I hope the information is helpful,
Jesse
