This is Katie, Jeff’s sister. Surgery went well. In addition to getting the window the team placed a Hickman line do that Jeff can get TPN ( IV nutrition). As all to frequently happens Jeff’s pain levels 1 day post were pretty hard but he’s on a better regime now and is looking much improved. He’s just Exhausted from not being able to sleep due to pain.
No ETA yet for when he’ll be home. Still high chest tube output and his white blood cell count is up so they are watching him closely to make sure he’s now developing a infection.
Thanks,
Katie
