POSSIBLE NISSEN COMPLICATIONS

Max has been having some vomiting in recent days, as well as increased secretions. A few days ago they thought it was he was experiencing withdrawl because they were attempting to wean some of his sedation. However, the signs are different this time, which leads the team to suspect there may be something wrong with his Nissen (the wrapping of the stomach around the esophagus to prevent reflux/vomiting). That was the surgery about a month ago.

They are doing an Xray on Maxwell this afternoon. They may need a surgery consult on it as well which won't be able to happen probably until Monday. This MAY cause yet another delay in the heart surgery...but I am keeping my hope that we are still on for Tuesday. We'll see what Maxwell says!
