The loyal readers of this blog will remember not so long ago when I documented the feeding tube clogging and what an arduous task it was to unclog. Trips to the emergency room, using the special Duke Declogging Kit and ultimately replacement of the tube were ever so frequent. Guess what?
After only three days, the damn thing is clogged, the nurse cannot get it unclogged and has requested the kit from pharmacy. I can't wait until tomorrow to see the results of this one!
Pain management remains a big challenge but the nausea is minimal at this moment. Time will tell and it is much to early to bring out the pep band for this one. Joy is eating a few bites of the very soft diet they have allowed.
The surgeon said he would give the "go ahead" to the transplant team to begin treating the rejection and if so, this will eliminate the need for us to chance this with home health care in Illinois. When and how long this procedure will take is unknown.
Stay tuned.

Dear Joy & Wayne,
And so it goes. It's encouraging to hear that Joy is eating a little bit. But we hear what you're saying about the feeding tube. Seems like we've already seen this movie! Anyway, we're still pulling for you guys.
Love to all,
Steve & Trina
