As of this morning's x-ray, Ian still has most of the metal inside him. He is still being flushed out. They are about 1/2 way through the second gallon container of fluid that is being pumped into his stomach. His tummy is mostly distended, but the fluid is trickling through and flushing him out.
The poor nurses are cleaning up lots of messes. They are really nice about it.
As we slip into the weekend, you can bet there won't be a lot of professionals hanging around for high level testing and diagnosis. The doctors are talking about an MRI next week. It sounds like this may take a while.
Right now Ian is playing happily with a cool toy they gave him as a reward for being good (to distract him) while they stuffed another tube down his nose. He coughed up the last one after his nap.
