They did Jeff's surgery in his room on Friday afternoon. They got him closed just a little bit more. The surgeon said that they would get him closed in a week or two. I was hoping that they would get him closed by Monday. He has very little drainage from his NG tube. The nurse told me that the surgeon said that if Jeff had a BM that they could take the NG tube out. So I am praying for poop. When they get the NG tube out they can start giving him tube feedings. He is in a lot of pain still from the the muscles stretching. Physical therapy came by and sat him up yesterday for a few minutes. That was the first time that he has
sat up since October 11.
We have finally turned that corner toward recovery. We do not know when he will be moved to rehab but I know that it cannot be too far away.
