Another hill to climb

Landon is going back for another surgical procedure tomorrow. The last one did not work and the fistula came open the next week. He has been very weak and in a lot of pain. We came in from Southern California tonite and will take him tomorrow and stay with him. Hopefully he will get to go home. They are going to insert a plug and hopefully this will keep it closed.
We appreciate your prayers.

Still home, thank the good Lord.


Landon had another procedure on Friday before we left town. We spent most of the day with him at the hospital as an out patient. They let him go home for which we are thankful, but he has been in pain all weekend. Hope the procedure fixes the fistula but time will tell.
Thanks for your prayers.

Still riding the roller coaster

I am sitting in the hospital cath lab awaiting Landon to return from another procedure. He was in Monday and is here again today. So far, they haven't re-admitted him for which he is thankful.
He can rest better at home. They are doing a fistula-gram...whatever that is. They insert tubes into small intestine or fistula to help close it up. Maybe I will know more when the radiologist comes to talk to us.
We leave tomorrow for almost two weeks so am hoping to have some good reports.
He is still in much pain and cannot stand up straight. His weight is still down and they are still contemplating feeding him again intravenously but don't know when.
Your prayers and concern are very much appreciated as we walk this journey. We are still believing for a COMPLETE recovery.
I took some pictures of him and us this week that I will post when I get home to the proper equipment.

The long road to recovery

Landon is still at home as of this writing The dr said if he does not gain this weekend, he will have to be admitted to the hospital and fed protien packs intravenously. He is weak and needs a healing touch. God bless all of you
