Daddy seems to be improving or at least his level of pain has. His fentanyl patch has been decreased from 75 mg to 50 mg and he's only taking morphine a couple times a day. With the decrease in the pain medication he is able to stay awake more. His days are still up and down and some are better than others. His throat is still raw and covered with blisters from the cyberknife treatments therefore he still can not eat anything. Hopefully the blisters will heal in the next several weeks and he can start eating soups and soft foods.
He has been having problems with his feeding tube so he's having outpatient surgery tomorrow at Roanoke Memorial Hospital to have the tube replaced. Mom is supposed to have him there at 11:15 tomorrow and his surgery is scheduled for 12:45. The Doctor said that it should only take about 30 min. provided there are no complications. If everything goes as planned they will be back home sometime tomorrow afternoon.
Hope everyone is staying safe and warm with all this snow.

Our thoughts and prayers continue every day. When I go pass the house every morning I ask the Lord to make this a good day for Roy and Doris. When I go home in the evening, I ask the Lord to give them a peaceful night and to watch over them. May God continue to be with you all. Love and Prayers
Prayers and Thoughts go out for LeRoy and the Family. I am glad he is making progress. Thanks for the update Hollie.
