Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. I am happy to report that, so far, TPN has been a success. He is metabolizing it well and is already feeling the benefits of the hydration and nutrition after just two infusions. He is stable enough to go home today. We are encouraged by what this means for his comfort and quality of life as we face the days ahead.
The issues surrounding his gastric tube appear to be a bit better. The doctors determined that going in and trying to make any adjustments would prove too risky. While the system is not perfect, we have been able to keep it working with more flushing and more frequent draining. Not ideal, but it works.
Thanks to everyone that has helped us this week. Juggling the kids' schedules, hospital visits, and Marc's needs, has taken a lot of help. We are grateful for everyone that continues to put their lives on hold to help us. It's very humbling. We are grateful, too, to everyone that made the trip up the hill to visit us. It really brings us comfort and cheers us up to see familiar faces in this place. Thank you!
With love and gratitude....
