Tubeless

It's true!!
After 112 days, two stays in the hospital, one for 24 days,
another major surgery, an abscess the size of a softball,
pain, pain and more pain,
Benjamin is TUBE free.
His NJ tube
(feeding tube placed into through his nose far into his small intestine)
accidentally became dislodged one week ago today.
With some small convincing from me...
they decided to remove it instead of replacing it.
If he could maintain or gain weight it could stay out.
Yesterday he saw the GI and has gained 2 ounces
...without the tube.

Woo Hoo!!!!!
He also went back to school full time Monday. :)
He is so happy to be back in the saddle.
He is eating anything he wants, and everything he wants.
All is well. Hopefully, he is done being a sick boy.

We truly feel the Lord's blessings in our lives,
and are grateful for the power of the priesthood
and the power of prayer.

I will post a picture of the new improved, fuller faced Benjamin soon.
