Approaching Week 4

Well, I haven't posted much the past few days because I haven't really been sure what to post. It seems that he will have a really good day, then a not-so-good day. On the good days he is up frequently, interacting more like normal, more willing to try things, even watching TV occasionally, joking around. On the not-so-good days, he stays in bed a lot, seems very drowsy, sometimes complains of nausea, seems reluctant to move around and it seems difficult for him to engage in conversation. The doctors aren't really sure what's going on. They apparently took the "input" part of his g-tube (i.e., the tube in his stomach) out today since it wasn't working anyways, leaving just a drain in there. They have been talking for a couple of days about possibly doing an endoscopy to check out his throat/esophagus/stomach and make sure they aren't missing anything, but that hasn't happened yet and we are a little confused about if/when it will. Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks since his surgery. Pray for wisdom for the doctors to discern if there is anything physical hampering his recovery, for our ability to encourage him and help him take the steps he needs to get better, and for wisdom to know when he should go home.
