Update

**As of Sunday afternoon when I went to visit, his belly was still VERY swollen, and the tube that had been feeding him, was now sucking some nasty stuff back out of his belly. They also had him on a couple of other things to try to correct the swelling. I guess once they get that straightened out, they will start trying to feed him again with the tube. Still not sure what is causing all his problems...I think we are still going to have several days of it. It is going to be a slow process getting him back to where he needs to be.**

Today we are on day 5 in the hospital, and there is still no change with him. They have moved his feeding tube lower in his stomach, but they still keep having to stop his feeds. Yesterday when I went to see him he was SO swollen. I mean his belly looked like a huge balloon, and it was so hard. I hated seeing him that way, and am hoping to go soon today to check on him. It is still so hard being torn between being with him, and my obligations here at home.
