The morning has started out with giving us great hope of a day of progress. The doctors capped the nephrostomy tubes this morning to see if Samuel's body can handle working properly on its own. His liver levels have come down closer to normal. They also capped his NG tube to see if his tummy is awake enough. If he becomes nauseous, they will have to uncap it. We are praying that everything works well today. If it does, then tomorrow they will take him downstairs for interventional radiologists to start removing the tubes. They would be removing the two nephrostomy tubes, two JP drain tubes, and the NG tube. That is five tubes that could be gone in one day! He would still have three other tubes, but he will go home with those.
We also received a box of delicious goodies from John Marshall and his daughter, Jennifer, today. The box was filled with all kinds of great things, but Samuel has his eye on the homemade oatmeal raisin cookies. As soon as he saw them, he perked up and said he really wished he could eat. If they are able to pull the NG tube without him getting sick, he may be able to try a couple of cookies tomorrow! Please pray that all goes well and that today Samuel will leap forward on the road to recovery. Praising Him for progress!! Blessings!
