Thirteen Days! He's doing AMAZING! Over 2 miles walked yesterday. Amy and Alan enjoyed the Observation Floor and the Astros win!
Today Keith came and hung out during the morning, while I got the house back in order and went to H‑E‑B. Before I got here, Alan had already walked 1.34 miles over 6 walks. We have walked twice more, including a lengthy visit to the Observation Floor. We had a great view of the NRG!
The big news of the day is that at 9 am, he started a gravity test on the NG Tube. A gravity test is where they disconnect him from the suction for 4 hours. And then for an hour, they connect him back to suction to see how much is removed from his stomach. The goal was to have less than 200 ml suctioned out. He passed! He only had 50! But we still haven't seen much out of the end of the bowels. So Dr. Ylu (Classy) and we agreed to keep the NG tube overnight. We would rather not have to redo it again! So he is back on ice chips now and waiting for movement!
Before I leave for the night, we will walk at least once more, maybe twice! Pray for everything to move along and for more progress tomorrow!
