I actually sent this to our friends (who don’t read this blog) at approx 1:45am last night. Since I haven’t talked to anyone since then, this is the latest on my end.
Thanks to everyone who has called, left voicemails, and sent emails sending good wishes. It is good to know people are thinking of us.

I am too tired to give a full update.
Yoshi’s parents drove down this morning and spent the day in the hospital while I was at work. I am grateful my Hunny wasn’t alone all day.
The pancreatitis is being stabilized. This takes time, depending on the individual. Until this is stabilized, they don’t recommend gallbladder surgery unless absolutely necessary. The GI Specialist came by at about 9pm to evaluate & is recommending ERCP (procedure using a lighted scope (endoscope) with X-ray pictures so a doctor can see the system of tubes that drains the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas). I have learned a lot from WebMD by searching “pancreatitis.” This will give the doctors a better picture of what is happening.
Anyway, depending on how long it takes for the body to heal from the pancreatitis (this could be anything from a day to several weeks) and what they see in the ERCP will determine when Yoshi will get the gallbladder surgery. They also plan to have some bloodwork done tomorrow, so that should also answer more questions.
I just want my Hunny to heal quickly, come home, and get/stay healthy.
I also want sleep. Thanks again for everything.
Yoshi’s in good hands. Sending healing wishes his way. Now get some rest, girl! You can’t help him heal if you’re not in top condition yourself. *hugs* Take care of yourself.
I hope you get some rest. I will say a prayer for Yoshi, that he heals quickly.
