Today at 3:45pm my mom will have a stent procedure done. The doctors found tumors outside the upper part of her small intestine are pressing against it causing irritation and compromising proper function. Rather than surgery, they will do an endoscopic procedure in which they will place a stent in that part of the intestine to push it open and fortify it. The doctor is supposed to be one of the best but there is some concern that the the stent will shift or will not settle in the correct place. Please pray that the doctors are successful with the placement and that the stent helps restore the function of the small intestine so my mom can eat. They were hoping to begin chemotherapy today but cannot until she is able to eat.
The NG tube is still in place although 1000ml of fluid have been drained. My mom is still uncomfortable and somewhat anxious that about the procedure. Please pray for her comfort and her peace as well as the effectiveness of this stent.
Thank you.
Anna
