Papa had an appointment with Dr. Breaux, his surgeon, yesterday afternoon.  He removed the latest drain,  removed the "button" which was placed in his stomach when they pulled  his G-tube , and removed the tube used for his feeding.  He now is drain/tube free! He will finish his IV antibiotics today and his pic line will be removed soon also.  He has been fever free.  We will see about getting his blood work done to check his white cell count.  He is feeling well, doing his therapy, sleeping and eating well.
