busy week, sorry for lag
Jim & Chris are visiting from Texas. YAY
Yesterday I weighed 160lbs YAY
We went to Stanford and spoke to doctors about Tarzan. He is mentally alert and developing well. He has only gained 1 lb in 2 months. NOT good.
The plan is to meet with 1 more surgeon, and decide to put in a G-tube Endoscopically or Surgically. If surgery, there is a smaller "button" immediately. Not a tube.
After decision, we schedule a date.
We have to be in hospital to learn how to use it.
Plan? memorial day weekend, pull his NG tube, and see if he starts to eat more. While watching him for dehydration.
IF he eats more? great, if not? G tube
