Tube Is In

Things went well with Blake's surgery yesterday. It ended up being a less invasive process then they had originally anticipated. The tube just goes right into his stomach and does not need to go directly into his intestines. Other than being a little grumpy when he woke up, I think everything went well and they will release him today or tomorrow.

Test Failed

Blake is back at Primary Children's today for a check-up and swallow test. He was able to pass the first part, the yogurt like substance, but failed the rest. This means that he will now have to have a G-Tube surgically placed into his stomach. I guess that it is not good to have the nose tube long term. They will do the surgery on Monday. Mom also said that they are going to put in a new trach because he is starting to outgrow the original one.

Otherwise he has been doing very well at home.

Dad will be in on Thursday to see his Dr. for his consultation for his artery issue. Who knows what they will end up doing for him or when they will do it.

Doing Well At Home

Sounds like everything is going well still. They seem to have gotten all of the kinks work out on the equipment. He sure is a cute boy!

Good Times

Like I said in my last post, we have been pretty busy. We went fishing on Saturday in Island Park. The weather was crap but the fishing was pretty good. We were lucky that Jason and his grandpa invited us to go with them. They have a nice boat with a cover and heater. We would have been pretty wet and cold in my little boat. We didn't get as early of start as we should of, but we still caught over a dozen fish. Katie brought in a 20 inch, 2 and 1/4 lb. Brook Trout. Her biggest fish ever. That is a pretty large fish as far as Brookys go.

I had to work yesterday, but Katie was able to go with her Aunt Annie to Menan to visit her Grandma's grave site. She had a good visit with Annie and Calvin, and was really happy that she was able to find out where the headstone was since she had not been there since 1998. Katie spent the rest of the day cleaning up the flower garden at the house and planting some flowers. It was a pretty big job. I will have to get some pictures of that tonight. Here are some pics of the weekend and one of the little fish I caught at Ririe a few weeks ago.

Things Must Be Good

I guess Blake is doing well. I have not heard anything lately. I have been pretty busy running around with work and doing some fishing here and there so I haven't gotten a good update in a few days. I will try to get more info or maybe have Becky post a comment soon.
