Feeding Tube

The first surgery went well. The feeding tube is in place and the nurses tell me that the dressing in the incision look perfect.

Today, at 10am, we will learn about how to use the tube, how to clean it and how to replace it when needed. We will also learn about crushing his pill and forcing them into the tube. Dennis will never need to chew on anything unless he chooses to do so.

I think he will continue eating for a very long time. Especially ice cream and any other dessert he is able to get his hands upon.

I will let you all know later just how this works. First, though, I must get educated.

Until later
Ann and Dennis
