George was unable to get the nerve block today. The GI doctor was available however, the unavailability of the Anesthesiologist was the issue. The GI Doctor will attempt to get it coordinated for Sunday however, we were told it may not happen until Monday. Until the block is done, George will continue on the PCA to control his pain.
The Ultrasound was done, and they did find a clot in Georges lower left leg. He was started on a Heparin drip for now, and will be changed to a drug that us given by injection when he goes home.
Our prayer is for good pain control and that the block can be done Sunday.
