CT scan Tuesday

It has been 10 days since Scott had the tube inserted to drain the infection. Tomorrow he will be going in again for a CT scan to look at the tube again and see how it is doing. Additionally they are going to look at the two biliary tubes that drain his liver and see how they are draining. We are still getting alot of fluid/infection from that drain so I am not sure what they are going to do. Additionally his oral antibiotics run out today and so I am wondering if they will want to start him on IV antibiotics. His incision is still open and infected. I will be sending photos to Dr. Mangus in Indiana again tomorrow for him to review. Scott is feeling a little better each day. He is eating a little more also, but doesn't have much of an appetite yet. Today he even went down to the jobsite and took his crew to lunch. It was the first time he has been out and driven since the surgery which will be 5 weeks tomorrow. I think it took more out of him then he thought it would so I'm not sure how soon he will want to go out like that again.
We so want to let everyone know how much we appreciate the continued love, thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Susan, Scott and family
