Cary still in icu. We are waiting to get moved to a regular room. He looks better today. This will make it easier for me to leave him and go back to Texas tomorrow. He says his pain is still high, but despite that he's moved around and taken a couple of walks today. Thank you for thinking of us.

Cary in icu for no apparent reason. They haven't been able to bring pain below 8. They didn't want to try new med until morning so he's got a rough night ahead. I pray for a really nice night nurse.

Hi folks. Carys went in or about 8am. Dr just came out almost 3 hours later said they are still working on him but they are not wanting to remove colon. They are worried about excessive complications. He's gonna do the roux
En y only and maybe Cary won't need the colon removal if he does he would do it in about 6 months. I think he probably wants to see if Cary can do without it. I'll post more when I learn more. Thank you for your prayers they are very precious to us.

Howdy folks!
It's hard to believe I pack tomorrow to leave for Minnesota on Saturday (I work 12 hours thurs, Friday). Yes my children will be motherless on mothers day, which isn't abnormal for our family. Cary will be having surgery Monday, lord willing. I believe he is opting out if the redundant colon removal and just having the R-Y. I don't believe it will be as intense. Most certainly not like what we went thru in October. He has gained enough weight to back in the normal weight category!!! I hope and pray they can take and keep out the feeding tube.

God bless you and keep you. Amanda
