Connie,

I'm sending a big, warm cyber hug your way

This is a lot to deal with all at the same time for anyone...I know that you will make it through, though, as difficult as it is...But I know that the heartache and stress must be a lot...

I hope and pray that your dad can get the feeding tube...Are they able to get rid of the blockage and then insert it directly into his stomach? I always thought that those tubes went into the stomach for some reason, not the esophagus.

I know that you want to be strong for your family, but I hope that you have a good cry now and then to relieve the stress...Comfort yourself whenever you can, and know that God's grace has no boundaries...He's with you all the time, and everything will work out as it's supposed to.

We're all with you too, as far apart as we are, thinking about you and praying about you.
