Dave's having a rough day today. His wound vac started leaking last night (still Day 1), and he got in trouble this morning when the Wound Care Team came to fix it because he may or may not be eating solid food that we may or may not be sneaking to him, which clogged his drainage tubes.
Speaking of clogging, Dave's feeding tube also clogged again this morning. The clog was bad enough that it had to be changed (for the third time in six weeks), a very painful process, and he is waiting on an X-ray to confirm that it is properly placed before he can eat again.
More upsetting than anything, and possibly as a result of the dressing and feeding tube issues, Dave's back pain was so bad this afternoon that he missed PT/OT.
I know Dave is making some amazing progress, but these small setbacks are reminders to continue praying. Also, the encouraging cards and emails are hugely helpful and reminders to Dave that you are thinking of and praying for him, so if you get a chance...

Hey Dave & Kendahl,
We'll be pryaing for no more cloggy tubing! Also, that the back pain goes or way or at least diminishes so he can go back to PT.
Hang in there!
We love you!

Hey Kendahl!
I am so sorry we never made it down to visit this month. I am hoping to get down there to see you both soon, but we have had a major setback. Can you email me your email address? I emailed Dave with details, but I don't know how often he checks it and it would be nice to have yours anyway.
Mine is lindseyohle@gmail.com
You and Dave are always in our thoughts and prayers.
lots of love,
Lindsey
