Bluniers

Things are still going in the right direction! They have started him back on soft foods to make sure his intestines can handle it. He still hasn't had pain since Thursday evening, which is awesome!  The plan is to be discharge tomorrow-Lord Willing. 

Well this morning brings improvement-thankfully! He hasn't needed pain meds since about 8ish last night. He has been able to continue sleeping  comfortably even with out pain meds.

It's not Kentucky but we can still make it fun!  Thanks for all the continued love and prayers!

If it does straighten out then they will remove the NG tube, give him food & send us home. If it does not straighten out then they will have to cut him open and...
