George got his G-tube this morning and is wide awake. The doctor was just in, saying that he can take the tube out soon. George can't wait for that, and neither can I. Right now he's trying to make the best of a bad situation, as am I. It's been a long week, but it's done.

Oh, I know you are relieved that it's in place for now. I know this is all so stressful. I hope you have been able to get some rest at some point, Kayla.

In the past two nights, I've managed to hit my "sleep" goal. So I've managed to sleep here.

@kaylachan Sleep has been rather sketchy here as well lately. Grab it when you can get it, Kayla.

I was raised by two elderly terminally ill parents. I learned to stay calm.

Good! Hopefully it will be very short term. Would he be able to go to rehab with it?

Yes. He needs to keep it in for at most two months. In that time we can work on his swallowing. He likely will be back to eating normally before the tube comes out.
