Procedure Went Well
Hello friends and family-
Jim's procedure went well on Thursday. The doctors were very happy, as things went off without a hitch. They also took another 2 liters of ascites out of his abdomen. We won't know the results for around 60 days. Jim is scheduled to have a scan at the beginning of September, but they aren't expecting remarkable results on the first scan.
Unfortunately Jim did not do well with the conscious sedation, and he was quite sick after the procedure. His parents are with him and they still haven't left Chicago. They were planning to leave today.
Jim has an appointment with Dr. Haid on Monday morning to discuss TPN and methods for removing the ascites buildup as it happens.
I'll report more later but I wanted to let everyone know that he's doing well, the procedure went well, and we are praying that those little microspheres are working like crazy to kill off the tumors.

Jim, I saw a special on Microspheres on Discovery. How's it feel to be on the cutting edge of technology? The fish were not biting down the shore this year so it was just like you were there with us! hahaha! Chloe had the only catch, a 12 inch flounder. You have to get better so you can show us all how its done. We love you and you are in our prayers.
