The procedure went good. They found a ulcer in the stomach and in the small intestine. They think that is where the blood loss came from. He now has a feeding tube to bypass the stomach. They think that this may help aid in the healing of the pancreas. There also two dilated veins behind the stomach. They are going to watch these but are not going to do anything now. They said that is pretty common with all he has had. He has been of the ventilator most of the day this week and back on it at night. The biggest change today was that he asked the nurse if he could get out of bed into the chair. This is the first time we are aware that he has made this request. The surgeon is thinking he should be out of ICU by the start of next week.
We know God has brought us this far in this journey. We are also promised that He will carry all of us the rest of the way. We have been so richly blessed this past year. I pray that we continue to give God the glory for all He does in the new year.
Thanks for the prayers!!!
