Jeanine's feeding tube is in and she is getting some nutrients at last! She is only getting 10 ccs per hour and she has a 1000 cc bag, so that may take a while, huh? When she gets used to the formula she will only have to use it at night. She will be able to eat whatever she can tolerate, and hopefully she will have more room in her tummy once they get the tumor shrunk with chemo.
Jeanine's spirits are good, even though she is disappointed that she will not be able to have surgery since there is some involvement outside of the stomach. She will see the oncologist Friday, August 7, and find out her treatment plan. She has to heal for two weeks from the procedures she just had and will go back for followup with the surgeon on August 20.
Sara and Julie, Jeanine's daughter and sister, are in Houston to stay with them until she gets out of the hospital on Friday or Saturday. They will bring her home in her comfy car so that she won't have to travel in the truck. They wanted to be there to help Dick out too. He is staying at the hospital tonight and will sleep tomorrow.
She asks that we continue to lift her in prayer....she wants to live for about 30 more years, so be specific in your asking! :) She wants everyone to know that she is "just fine"!! Dick says that he is "wonderful and sweet"....don't tell him I said this, but that is really the truth :)
