green jello

What with all the "factual" stuff I was trying to convey last night, I forgot to mention that he started feeling somewhat better as the day went on. They had put a new (bigger) NG tube in, and that seemed to get clogged less and keep him more comfortable (stomach-wise if not nose-wise).

This morning he's feeling even better. Dr. Powell stopped by and thought it would be good to cap the NG tube and try him on a clear liquid diet. He had a few bites/sips and it was good to see him at least having food in front of him. So we'll see if his "gut" kicks in here!

Oh WOW, I feel so much more in touch with you Dale and Amy. Angie I am so happy you are there with your Dad. He is such a special person .. and Amy is too.

We pray for all of you several times each day. I'm so thankful we know God and know of His love and care for us. Dale, you have been a beacon in so many lives with your kindness and that sweet smile. I just know all of the staff at that hospital can see God in you. You can't give a better gift.

We love you so much, Bill & Carol Strever
