September 9 4:45 pm

Good afternoon to all, Neil is having an OK day. The physician's assistant came by and changed the dressing. Yesterday Neil coughed and thought he had pulled something. In fact, three of the stitches have pulled out of the incision. She said there was not anything to do about this and she was not totally suprised. The incision where the ostomy was has some infection and they expected this. There is a drainage tube in that site and this should take care of the infection. The doctor will see Neil tomorrow. Neil will not go home today and maybe not tomorrow. He is not discouraged as he does not want to go home too soon. His abdomen is still very sore. We sure do look forward to tomorrow. Will keep you all posted.

Please remember Shanna in your prayers and Susan's, mother in law, Ms. Margaret Bauman.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers, love and support.
