Successful Day in Ann Arbor

Went to Ann Arbor today and I feel it was a pretty successful day. Brian had his G-tube removed which hurt like the dickens!! They just yank on it and pull it out! You should have seen his eyes when he was done!! But now it's out and things are all better. Now he has to eat and can't be lazy any more.

The doctor prescribed him some medication to hopefully give him some get-up-and-go. She also said that it is perfectly normal to go through a depression phase and he will overcome it. It was nice to hear that.

We also went to see the radiation oncologist and he looked down Brian's throat, gagged him a few times, but said all looks good. He will be going back on July 22 to get his PET scan, and we will know that day whether or not the cancer is gone.
We are a little nervous, but we are very hopeful.

A little funny for you, I asked Dr. Eisbruch if anyone had ever thrown up on him before when he sticks his fingers down someones throat. He paused for a minute, and then said "no, I've gotten bitten before, and if anyone bites me again I'm going to retire." This guy is so sober all the time, it was kind of fun to see another side of him today.

All in all, it was a great day.
