102 2i

Dr Temple returned today and was very pleased with what's going on - evidently he can tell by the CT scans that the fistula has shrunk considerably (from 15 cm down to 2 cm!!). So the Plan is for Linda to start on real food again so he can check if segments of the food come out the drain. Today we went to IKEA and she had 2 meatballs and some fries. So we're still playing the waiting game but at least Linda's getting food. Tracy has planned a scalloped potato and ham dinner for Thursday - Linda's thrilled!!! If she can tolerate food during the next few days, then the next step will be the feeding tube coming out.

    Wow! What a difference a couple of days (and 13 cms!) makes. This is all such grand news, Lorraine!

    Here's to a week of steps forward!! Hugs to you both . . . Kim

    Great news, glad to hear the docs are able to measure the healing so well. Let's hope for a fabulous experience at your dinner on Thursday.
    Getting colder here again. We just need more snow now!
    Keep up the healing and the traveling around Calgary. I don't know if half as well as you!
