The JP drain did erode a hole into the small intestines. :(
It can do three things. It can close up on it's own, it can remain the same or it can get bigger. If it gets bigger, he will have some additional problems, especially with nutrition. He will need a central line and TPN lipids again if the hole grows. He will need to stay here tonight to see what happens. They replaced the drain with a shorter one. I haven't seen him yet. Dr. Kozar just called me and told me what was going on.
