I had an appointment today with one of the nurses from the Heart Failure Team (they are the main team that is taking care of Dean, he doesn't have heart "failure" but their team deals with a wide variety of patients). They are going to remove Dean's feeding tube tomorrow because he has taken all his bottles by mouth! They want to leave it in another day because they want to make sure that he takes all of his medicines by mouth for the whole day. Providing that he continues to take his medicine, as well as eating out of a bottle they are planning on releasing him on Wednesday. No, they still haven't figured out WHY this all happened, they are still waiting on tests to come back - they ran some genetic tests and think that, depending on the results, might want to test myself and the girls at some point. However, these tests take time. So, they are treating the issues that have been presented and he's made fabulous progress.
Anyways......to recap: Dean's doing great and they are planning on releasing him Wednesday. Happy Thanksgiving to us!!!
