Recognize This Face?

It's been a while since we've had an unobstructed view. Doesn't he look great?

Goodbye to the NG tube (and the band aid that covered his nose). Dad hated the NG tube - it was uncomfortable, cut up his nose, and always got in the way. Dr. Duke said he was hesitant to take it out because after so many months it would be very painful if he had to put it back in. Well Dad said it was very painful to take it out, so we're definitely praying that it doesn't need to have it re-done. We wanted to post "pray that they take it out soon, and that he does well without it", but then Dr. Duke surprised us and pulled yesterday. So, instead of praying for it's removal, pray that he will not become nauseous and that will feel okay without it suctioning his stomach. (months ago it removed briefly but had to be re-inserted when he became very nauseous). It was pulled out yesterday evening and so far so good!!!




Dad showing that both nostrils are free... and I guess he can fill them with kleenex if he so pleases. However, be careful what you joke about - I'd hate for the hayfever to find you! :)
