The surgery went well - they removed his gall bladder (he was sad they wouldn't let him keep it), but apparently some of the stones had worked their way into his bile ducts, and they couldn't get them laproscopically. So now they're going to have to stick a tube down his throat to get the other ones. That's another surgery that's happening tomorrow, so he's staying in the hospital another night. I went and visited - he's hopped up on morphine, but seemed okay. They put a drain in his side so that they wouldn't have to change bandages all the time. Icky.

I'll let you guys know how he's doing when I hear about it later.
