Peter Stevenson

I wanted to let all the bikers out there know that Peter Stevenson was misdiagnosed at the kentville hospital last Friday as having a pulled muscle and was sent home. On Saturday he once again was sent home with a supposed pulled muscle and excrutiating pain. Monday morning he was admitted to the kentville hospital as critical at a 50/50 chance of survival because his gallbladder was infected and inflamed. Due to this not being diagnosed within 72 hours bloody tissue built up around the gallbladder which caused fluid to build on his right lung and was in early stages of pneumonia. He has been upgraded to serious and is on a combination of drug cocktails by IV and only sips of clear liquids. This is going to be a long road to recovery maybe 5 weeks. They have to wait for the infection to be gone before they can operate and then it probably has to be the abdominal incision, not the scope. So we are looking at probably into february before all is said and done. He is allowed visitors . It seems to brighten up his spirit. He will be home xmas day for a few hours. All prayers are welcome.


*** just a footnote that for those who would like to forward a message to Peter they can do so on e mail zelpet@hotmail.com and I will make sure he gets it and I will reply also. Thank you
