Hello to all, The doctor just came by to see Neil. He does not want to do anything about the incision. He said any other work on this could increase the risk of infection. He said he would add "Montgomery strips" to the incision. This is a strip on each side of the incision going the length of the incision. It is then tied across the incision to hold it closer together. The doctor is going to add Levaquin to help with the infection in the ostomy incision. The pain is still moderate, but somewhat manageable with medication. The doctor anticipates Neil will be discharged tomorrow. He said Neil should be able to return to rehab 3 weeks from the surgery. Tomorrow is 1 week so it is passing quickly.
We saw Susan today and Ms. Margaret(her mother in law) is doing well and should be discharged tomorrow. Please remember her and Shanna in your prayers.
Please surround the Andress family with your love.
Thanks so very much for your prayers, love and support. I fully expect Neil to resume this blog tomorrow.

Neil, I'm very thankful that you are progressing nicely. I expect nothing less from you. You're such a Warrior. My friend Kim has gone to Boston to look for "alternative treatments". Please keep her in your prayers.
Love you sweetie,
