Hi Everyone

Hi everyone Kathy here. Don't panic he is O.K. ...sorta. He had the new trach tube put in today and all went well. Except for the part where they want to keep him in the hospital for 5 days or so while he adjusts to the new tube. He apparently was not expecting to be staying in hospital but we all know what he can be like about that. Delores's attitude is duh he just had a new hole cut in his neck. He is in Prince George Regional hospital on the surgery ward. He has asked for me to fill you all in as things go until he is out and about. To the best of anyones knowledge this is a set back from the radiation and is not a renewal of the cancer. He will have to have the tube for quite some time until he is not in any danger of further swelling. So with the feeding tube and the trach tube I think we should start calling him tube man instead of lumpy :) I will keep you posted and hopefully he will tell you he is home, sooner than later. Bye.
