Today was a busy day for Dad again. There always seems to be a lot of nurses and doctors coming in and out checking his vitals etc. which takes time and makes it a busy day for him.
Late Friday afternoon Dad got a feeding tube put in. He has been unable to eat much and the doctors were worried he would lose too much weight. He was on TPN (total parenteral nutrition) which provided nutrition through the veins but there were complications with this and as a result Dad has not had any real means of nutrition for 15 days. He has now been getting very small amounts of food via the tube. This morning Dad started feeling nauseous and now he is getting medication for the nausea.
That's about all there is to report. We are all taking things one day at a time and thanking the Lord when Dad has a 'good' day. We do not know what lies ahead but we are looking to Him for all we need. Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragement; it means more than words can say!
