Oh...I almost forgot - great news about his G-tube

His G-tube has been removed! With all thats been going on in our lives, I guess even something this significant can be overlooked. Last Friday during a visit with his GI doctor, she recommended that the port be removed. I didn't know that that meant right then and there. Christina was asked to leave the room when it was done ( I was with Corinne in the waiting room). After a few minutes he was done. No anesthesia, just a good hard yank and it was out. We were told that there could be a little blood and some oozing. Sunday night I ran to the local ER because it looked like a frikkin gunshot wound! The neat little hole was oozing blood and stomach acid and soaking his dressing. It was the sixth time I changed the wound dressing when it looked like something out of Saving Private Ryan and said "screw it" and went to the hospital. After being admitted quite rapidly at St. Joseph's in Bethpage I was told that there was nothing to worry about - it was quite normal. Jeez, if thats normal I'd hate to see abnormal. Anyhow, now that it has been closing on its own, it is looking better and better. I am just using light gauze at the moment and there is no more oozing of acid or blood. One more chapter in his life is ended. Time to write a new chapter.
