Update!

It seems the surgeon didn't look at the CAT scan......till today! (only the ER doc looked) It may not be a micro tear after all! He is started on liquids which is fab! If it isn't diverticulitis and is what they now think, recovery will be a matter of , well, recovering! He'll have to have additional testing but allowing him to put something in his system is a BIG clue that the surgeon is probably right. Sure hope they have all their ducks in a row now!!! He is happily drinking his first cup of water since Weds!
