Kennestone Visit Successful

We had a good trip to Kennestone Hospital today. Though it did take a long time because they were backed up, all went well. The doctor did not find an ulcer or any other problems. He was able to remove Steve's feeding tube and replace it (using the same hole) with a new one. This one has a balloon on the inside so it is easily replaced in the office as needed. Steve feels a little tired and weak but is otherwise doing well!

Our next step is a pre-op appointment tomorrow at Emory for Steve's December 31st surgery. This one will be much more involved since they will be removing some of his tongue and using a graft. This is to prepare for the teeth implants. The doctor says this will be outpatient but I have my doubts. We'll see what happens.

Thanks for your prayers for today! They were answered and we appreciate it. Please keep Steve in your prayers for his next procedure. Merry Christmas to you all! Take time to remember the reason for the season - Jesus!
