He is resting as comfortably as possible...He has a huge gas bubble in his belly that won't relieve itself. They have talked about putting another NG tube into his stomach, but that reception was not a pretty one. They got a big fat NO on that one!! The transfer back to Portland is still a huge possibility. Will know for sure in the morning. I am staying the night with him tonight, so I will be able to speak with Dr. Starks in the morning. I'll say it again, he is a wonderful Dr. I just feel he needs to be in Portland where Dr. Rutstein is. I have so much confidence in her, as does Joey. He just does not want to endure the trip. I've promised it will be painless:)
Hey guess what... My car has an automatic pilot and I didn't even realize it!! It is so funny...I get behind the wheel and she just drives herself right down I95!!!! Amazing! I wonder how much I paid for that feature?!?
I will let you know how we make out tomorrow. For now, Good night, God Bless and {{hugs}} to all!

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.

Hang in there Joey, It's like having a baby. A year from now you'll say, "it wasn't all that bad." Your FAITH will get you and your family through this. Love and prayers go out to you.
