Bettyjo saw Dr. Willet yesterday late afternoon. He was very pleased that she was eating something every day, and has had no leaks! The only minor problem is, that the hole where the primrose drain was, is still not fully healed. We will be treating it for 8 weeks, and if it is still not closed, he will do a minor surgery in his office to close it. She is now allowed to eat ground meat, and other soft foods. She must chew everything very thoroughly.
To celebrate, we went to Texas Roadhouse and Bettyjo was able to eat about 2/3 of a baked sweet potato, and 1/4 piece of salmon. Dr. Willet suggested that she cut back on her liquid diet as she adds calories by mouth. We are praying that the feeding tube will be out by Memorial Day.
To all of you that have been reading this blog and praying for us, THANK YOU!
