John has enjoyed everyones visits and is getting a "little" stronger everyday. The surgeon still hasn't decided about removing the gallbladder. They may not have too. Because that may be too invasive. They still have him on IV antibiotics and the bile duct drain seems to be working properly. They have also removed him from the morphine drip and has transitioned him into a twice a day long acting pill form. As soon as he gains a little strength he can start walking around a bit. Also, the pain management doctor wants to do the celiac nerve burn either tomorrow or Friday. We don't know which yet or what time. Thank you all for your continued good wishes and prayers. Gods Handmaiden, Nila
