A jejunostomy tube was placed in Dad to facilitate feeding on Nov. 23rd at Sugar Land Methodist. He developed a post-op ileus which has resolved. His health has improved considerably since Monday, Nov. 28th. MD Anderson provided minimum options for rehabilitating Dad's nutrition, and did not offer cancer treatment options beyond the conventional chemotherapy. The oncologist and surgeon at Sugar Land Methodist have been committed to Dad's care from the onset. They provided a strategy for combating the nutrition loss when options were few. They also embraced humility over hubris. Over the next several weeks when Dad regains his strength he will undergo chemotherapy. Within a day or two Dad will be transferred to a long-term acute care facility to convalesce. Once he regains more of his strength he will be able to entertain calls.
Even though the medical professionals are doing their part it is through prayer and faith in God through his son Jesus Christ that has set Dad on a path to recovery. Please continue to pray for him.
