Papa is still making good progress.  He is enjoying being on his soft diet, and has been eating well with not much nausea.  Dr. Breaux now has his duodenal drain clamped in addition to his g-tube.  This will require his stomach and intestines to work a little harder, but once he can tolerate both of these tubes being clamped off, they will be able to start pulling the drains out.  Still dealing with the VRE bacterial infection, but it doesn't seem to be affecting his progress , although he has been a little more tired lately.
