Sorry for the delay in update - we made it to Indy and back in one day. We left around 7 yesterday morning and got home around 5PM, so it wasn't too bad. We made up to the outpatient center in good time and didn't have to wait too long. We saw the nurse that specializes in Gtubes and she took out the tube from surgery and tried to put in the button, but it wouldn't go in, and the site started bleeding. She decided it wasn't healed enough and put in a different tube with a disc next to the skin to hold it - so he didn't get any stitches. As you can imagine, he was pretty irate over all of the probing into his belly, but calmed down pretty quickly after she was done. Since there was some difficulty getting everything squared away, she wanted us to get a study done in fluorscopy, to make sure the tube was going into the stomach. Sure, no problem! OK, after we got downstairs there was one problem, they don't do fluorscopy until 1:30, so we had an hour to kill. The line for the wraps was pretty long, so most of our wait was used up getting lunch! The test itself took a matter of minutes, and we were on our way home!

Glad to hear the trip to Indy went well. We loved the video of Justin and Gabe! It is wonderful to hear the giggles! I'm thankful that the incident with the man at the door was resolved. It's good to know people! :-) Take care and we hope things calm down around there for a while!
Love,
Maria, Dave, Patrick, and Cathryn
