Stephen admitted to hospital yesterday afternoon with jaundice and an increasingly swollen abdomen and legs. Blood tests taken on Tuesday evening revealed alarming high readings and suggested a blockage in his liver or/and bile duct. Inserting a 'stent' was suggested to alleviate the jaundice and terrible itching that accompanied it. He is NOT well, and I was advised to call the family. This afternoon I was informed that an operation would not be advisable given Stephen's advanced condition so I brought him home.

Babs,
You and Stephen are in my prayers. I'm holding kind thoughts for you.
Dear Babs,
My thoughts are with you and Stephen. I am so sorry he is having to go through all the pain. I feel as though I know you both, although we have never met in person. You are lovely people.
