A new week.

Dad is continuing to improve, day by day. Today he was able to get the ng tube out (that big ugly tube coming out of his nose in the picture.) My husband says that is one of the worst. Dad feels so good getting that thing out!!! He has been on the formula, feeding through the j tube, since yesterday, but says he can't really tell a difference yet. His mouth is still very dry. Pray for encouragement and patience, and self discipline on his part to hang in there until the Dr. says it is ok for him to swallow, which may be another few weeks.
Mom has had a slow steady trickle of visitors. This has been such an encouragement to her. God continues to give her support as well as Dad through so many.
By the way, tomorrow is Mom's birthday!!! Dad already took her out to celebrate since he knew they would not be able to after the surgery.
Pray for her tomorrow, that she would feel an amazing amount of peace during this time, and also for Dad as you have been doing.
In His Hands, JJ and all the Janszen Kids
