Another dip in the roller coaster ride!!!!

They took the n g tube out on Thursday and Friday he ate a little food and by Friday evening he was nauseous and Saturday he was throwing up. They did a test and no blockage. They have called in a G I doctor to help determine what is going on. He has not thrown up since Sunday night. He ate a little last night and was nauseous but kept it down. Today he ate cereal and part of a biscuit. So far he has kept it down.
Please pray that he will be able to retain food and it will digest properly.
He is weary with the process, but feeling better. He shaved yesterday and was more himself than he has been. Blessings to all of you for your continual prayers. We feel the strength. Pray for Ronna, his mother, also, as she has a heavy load with this and her job and the regular stresses of life.
They are running an xray today to see if everything still looks ok from the surgery.

YIPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They removed the N G tube this morning after 10 days. He will now be on a liquid diet. They are giving him protein by i v also. Please pray against any complications. This is time frame they have come in the other surgeries, but we are believing all is going to stay WELL. He is ready to get out of here.
Our thanks and love to all who have prayed for us during this journey.

10th Day after Fourth Surgery

We are still in St. Lukes. The Drs are being very conservative with his care in light of all his complications in the past. He still has the n g tube. That is very uncomfortable and he is ready for it to come out. They are starting tpn...(liquid food)in his veins tonite. I think that will make him feel better since he has been NPO for 10 days...only a few ice chips here and there. He is walking several laps around the floor trying to get the stomach working. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. We are sooooo thankful there has been no infection or abcesses.
Blessings to you.

A long and winding road
