Thanks to our Heavenly Father and wonderful doctors as Justin is feeling much better after the procedure on Friday. In fact, he babysat for Brenlee on Saturday night for a few hours. Yea, Uncle Justin! Justin is back to feeding himself through the feeding tube and it is going into the stomach. Last Sun and Mon, it was not in place and he could not eat at all. Tuesday, they put it in too deep and it was emptying into his intestine...leaving his stomach empty, growling, and with acids gurgling. He was unable to eat much....really small servings about 12 times a day...too much pain, nausea, etc. I believe he lost about 5 pounds.
The therapy continues...he has had about 6-8 sessions. He is supposed to go 3 times a week, but the therapist was ill and then Justin was ill. So, we hope that he can get back to a regular schedule. With time and therapy, Justin did tell me that he is feeling a little more motion of his tongue. He is still not able to get things all of the way down his throat...but it was a tiny step forward and hopeful for this momma to hear that!
Hopefully, he is back on the road to recovery. Please continue to keep Justin in your prayers as he heals and rehabs during this long journey.
