Things went well today for Brian. He was able to have his feeding tube inserted without any complications. It only took about 10 minutes for the actual procedure and of course we waited over an hour just to get into the surgery room, but it's done!! He had radiation after that and now we are back at the hotel and he is resting. He will be able to start using the feeding tube tomorrow. We have to start slow and add a little at a time. I will now have to carry a bag around with all of his supplies, so it will be just like having a diaper bag to carry again :o)

This whole thing is just really emotionally draining. I know that there are so many people that are worse off than Brian, but it's really hard to go through this . . . . I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I'll be glad to be heading home again tomorrow. After tomorrow, only 8 more days!

  1. Hi Dalene,
    I check in daily and I admire your strength, and still having a little humor too, as you help Brian through this difficult journey. I hope you all will be able to have a good weekend. Take care.
