Thank you all for your consistent prayers. Surgery was not quite the success we had hoped. The gastric bypass surgery was not an option once the surgeon had a chance to open him up. There is simply too much tumor encasing his intestine. Instead, the doctor inserted the peg tube we had discussed a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately, that went as planned and he has stopped vomiting; however, he is in a great deal of pain and has spiked a bit of a fever this morning. Please pray that we get some relief from the complications of the surgery.
We know many of you would like to visit and/or call. I would ask on his behalf that you do not. He is not up to visitors today and he cannot talk on the phone. I will update here as I can. Feel free to email or post to this site. I will pass on any messages I receive.
With love and gratitude...

We are sorry to hear that the surgery did not happen as hoped, though glad for the relief from vomiting. I am reminded to be thankful of the little things like enjoying food! We will continue to pray that God comforts you all through this very painful suffering.
