Pray for ray,,cancer doc came in his blood is too thin to put feeding tube in..they gave him a vitamin k injection so that hopefully by we'd. Am he can have the tube put in. They say he will not come home til at least Friday..they are getting him an air mattress for his hospital bed at home, and a pillow that allows comfort for propping him up. He uses the suction machine for his saliva, like it was always a part of him...he is sooo brave...God Bless My Husband...keep praying

all is well

All went well with the placement of the feeding tube.
They didn't put him to sleep at all.
He will come home tomorrow if all goes well!

Great News!

We are hoping and praying that the feeding tube will be a huge assistance to Ray. Glad they finally got that 'installed'.

Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family Rose.

Love,
Judy
