Dr. Garrido called saying that they would be able to put a stent in to support the passage from the stomach to the intestines. It depends on whether he would want to do it or not. Layne doesn't want to do the feeding tube that would be attached to bypass the stomach. If he were to do the procedure, it would mean he could eat - instead of doing just liquids. It also might improve quality of life - but, would probably not extend his life. We get to make so many fun decisions around here.
He also had a call from the company that will be handling his hospice care. I'm not sure what was set up for that. We'll see what the future holds.
Thanks for the update. We are praying for comfort. Know of our love.

Thanks for the update, the all liquid diet detail I somehow missed previously and I bought ridiculous amounts of food for laynes birthday bbq tomorrow... I'm sure Jake and Jonny will help us out there. Looking forward to being with you. Love you zillions.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gary.
ReplyDeleteSarah - Sorry I didn't mention it to you specifically. It didn't even occur to me. Way for me to be on top of the details, right? We're glad we get to spend some time with you guys today.
Sorry we couldn't join you for the birthday BBQ! I trust Jake and Jonny took care of the extra food! :-) Please keep us posted on if Layne decides to do the procedure and also how things go tomorrow morning with your meeting.
