This one is going to be very short and to the point:
...epidural out...check! catheter out...check! bowels moving...check! WHEW. What a day!!! One more tube to reckon with and all will be good. Pain and nausea still an issue, but he tells me he can deal with that...its that stupid tube that goes through his nose to his stomach that really ticks him off. Hopefully that comes out tomorrow morning. Toes and fingers crossed?...check!

To know Joey and Kerri is to love them. The news of both of them being diagnosed with cancer is heartbreaking. We've created this site so that you can get updates, offer help, and use the guest book to write thoughts of encouragement and love.

Please use this site as an alternative means to stay connected.
