Update... still in the hosptial.
Arie is still in the hospital... he had surgery today (this AM). Everything went well, his endoscopy was normal, and he now has a PEG feeding tube in place. He's on Morphine for pain. Hopefully he will be discharged Sat or Sunday.
We did learn, however, that they want Arie admitted to an inpatient feeding program for anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. There is a great hospital in our state with a wonderful feeding program that we (and the doctors) are looking at. Apparently the rest of us would stay at the Ronald McDonald house. There is no rush to do it, so perhaps we will do it over the summer. I just can't imagine leaving Elaine and Micah for more than a couple of days. It's been so hard being away from home these past couple of weeks (between my hospitalization and Arie's).
Please keep up the prayers that all goes well. I have LOTS of pics, but I've gotta run, so I'll post them later next week.

It's Saturday now- I hope Arie is comfortable and on his way home.
The feeding program sounds intense. Wishing you all clarity as you face the road ahead.
Still praying!
prayers still going on here and hoping for an update soon.
