Feeding tube -- Success!

Finally Les is in his room and settling in on 4S.  A very long day! The doctor told me all went well; Les was a trooper.  It wasn't easy finding a "window" for the tube but they did it!!  Les was awake through the procedure and could watch a huge X-ray screen which showed the barium moving through.  The tube through his nose and then his throat was quite painful, and they inflated his stomach which Les said was very uncomfortable.  He still cannot eat - not until tomorrow morning.  They want the tube to heal a bit before using it.
He says right now that the incision is getting very painful.  Hopefully we will be out of here by noon tomorrow.

We are very sad that Kris' friend Matt passed away this morning.  His first stomach ache was mid-January.  Thankfully we know he is with Jesus, and he is no longer in pain.  Please remember this family in your prayers.
