Headed into surgery...

So, last night Gess started bleeding again, so we went to the ER. They admitted him to the ICU. This morning they decided that they are going to go in and do an embolization. We had a little issue with the IR nurse...he said that they would only do anything if he was actively bleeding. We told him that was not the plan, etc., but he argued with us. Fortunately for us, Gess's main doc is the ICU attending right now, so we called him. Of course, the nurse tried to argue with him--guess who won? So, they just gave Gess some platlets and are about to wheel him down to IR. It will be a couple of hours, so let the waiting begin...

Oh no -- I'm so sorry, but, at the same time, I really hope the procedure heps Gess feel better and gives you both a break from the bleeding. You're in my thoughts!
