I asked the nurse what PEG was an acronym for and it's, Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy, a.k.a. feeding tube inserted through the belly. On Dad it's a few inches above his belly button. All went well once again, which we're very thankful for. Seems like it takes quite a bit of sedation to knock him out. We believe that under all those tubes, bandages and incisions, lies a strong healthy man.
Now he has no tubes going through his mouth or nose, so we can see his face clearly. The nursing staff kindly gave him a shave too, so he's very presentable. Seeing him like this really emphasises the amount of weight he has lost as his face is looking quite thin.
It's been a few days since we've spoken with the neurologist, Dr. Almadallal. Hopefully, he'll have a positive assessment to report to us.
God bless you all.

We are still watching from out of state...people praying for Vincent that don't even know him!
ReplyDeleteDr. Almudallal's office manager's husband and homeschooled little girl emailed me from Ohio to ask about Vincent -- they are praying!
Started a new job last week -- passed on Vincent's name to new co-worker's who offered to pray when I shared with them what had happened to our dear friends!
Lots of Love and Prayers from people everywhere!
