A small setback

This morning started with a 5am call and a rush to the hospital. Dad is fine, he was just having significant abdominal pain and wanted us here. His xray showed a lot of distention suggesting that things just aren't moving through yet. The NG tube got put back in and fluid poured out, guess he wasn't quite ready for those sips of juice. He is resting comfortably now and complaining again that he is hungry. Maybe tomorrow he will get to try sips atain, but nothing for now.

    Sorry for the small setback. Progress is sometimes made with two steps forward and one step back. Keep up the good work. Things will improve

    I'm glad you guys were so close. That must have been scary, getting that call. Tell him to slow down and take smaller steps...

    For the first time, I am up earlier than the blog posting. I hope it means everyone is getting sleep this am. Good thoughts are with you every minute.
