They attached the vial of radioactivity-juice (dye contrast) to LP's cath line and pumped his bladder full. It was actually pretty cool at first to be seeing his bladder & kidneys & spine & stuff. The radioactivity-juice showed up a blockage, which changes what they're doing tomorrow...I just can't remember how at this moment. It's all become a blur (good thing I'm posting updates and can look back at what I wrote earlier!) now. Anyway, during this process, somehow the catheter came out. So, they tried really, really hard to get him to pee in a cup so that they could finish the test and see what was happening "down south." But, you know guys & pee pressure....it just wasn't happening lying sideways on a hard table w. your parents and a roomful of strangers staring at you and trying to convince you to let loose. So, his bladder is still full of radioactivity-juice, we are temporarily catheter free and are now waiting on SOMEONE to come and tell us what happens next. I'm guessing sedation & a re-insertion of the catheter & the heplock that clotted up today and had to be removed.
On the bright side, in approx. 45 minutes, I'll be able to eat for the first time today!
More later. Little Pom says thanks for all the well-wishes!

Just a quick comment to let you know we are thinking of you and sending lots of positive energy LP's way. Do you think you'll be up for a visitor tomorrow late morning/early afternoon? Hugs!
