Late Tuesday night after the surgery, I developed a significant temperature which indicated an infection due to the stagnant bile entering my bloodstream. Intravenous antibiotics were immediately administered while blood samples were being cultured. I would have to stay in the hospital until I had a normal temperature for 12 hours minimum. My fever finally broke at 5:00 AM on Thursday morning and I was released later that afternoon with a five day prescription for oral antibiotics.
I was scheduled to receive chemotherapy today, but its not going to happen because I cannot receive chemotherapy until after I have completed the antibiotics.
We have decided to return home to Portland during this five day intermission.
