Quick update

Today, Daddy continues to improve somewhat. The surgeon said that he's not concerned about a blockage and doesn't think he needs surgery - yay! They think he just got so dehydrated that it caused a kink that seems to be working itself out. However, today Daddy is still very nauseous, partly because he has the NG tube down his nose. We have not really gotten any answers about what is causing the nausea, and no one seems to be concerned that he has not had anything of nutrional value in almost a week. They are just telling us that once his stomach settles down, they will reintroduce sustenance. In the meantime, he's allowed to eat popsicles and drink (although it promptly comes back out through the NG tube) -- it does help his throat, which is sore from the tube and from being sick for days. We appreciate your continued prayers. They did say that they will keep him in the hospital for a few days, likely until he can drink and keep fluids down and his body is functioning more normally. He is tired, and tired of being sick, but is getting out of bed at times, and planned to take a few little walks down the hall after we left today.
