very long day--just got back from hospital. The surgeon said my dad, Kenny did very well--had 6-7 hour surgery---mostly laproscopically. He did do a larger incision (few inches) in the abdomen to better see the insertion of the feeding tube. HE is going to a step down room right now and my mom is staying with him tonight. Hi blood counts were down a little--so I hope that is not serious. I am so tired I can't write much right now--to make it understandable anyway..

thanks for all the prayers--they are very appreciated!
Kim
