Visited the surgeon today for last minute questions, explanations and instructions. Everything is set for next Wednesday, October 27th. We are still expecting a 5 to 7 day stay in the hospital and to come home with a "J" tube which is a feeding tube in the jejunum (part of the small intestine). I've heard stories of vodka infusions thru the feeding tube, hmmmm, guess I'd better check the supply! The good news is that Bubba's weight is higher than before all the testing and treatment started.
Last night John, Maria and Jackson brought the trout they caught to our house so I could cook it for them. Neither their mom nor dad like fish or seafood, so they get to come to our house for the good stuff. I have to say it was the noisiest dinner we've had in a long time! Bubba was certainly entertained by the grand-kids!!!
Until the next time,
Jan
Woke up this morning thinking of you both. I'll be sending positive vibes your way all day!
ReplyDeleteSandy,
Tom and Jan, Love you so much and have been thinking of you all morning and praying you are getting the best care. Praying for the doctors and nurses as they do what has to be done and for your quick and complete recovery. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Love, Betty Irene
