Kevin is suppose to be getting his PEG out today...thats the feeding tube he hasn't even been using but it had to stay in for a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks before it could be removed. They tried to take it out at bedside but it started to cause him some pain so they stopped. They are going to do an "endoscopic something or other" ..later this afternoon to remove it and guide it out. (something or other is my own name for it because I'm too sick to remember what she said and I can't even read my own writing as I tried to scribble it..lol )
Since Maya and I are both sick and contagious we can't be there but not to worry, I've got the phone next to me. His nurse knows to call me as soon as its done and I'll update you guys when I know all is good. I'll also be sending in reinforcemt for his afternoon visit since I can't go.

Kim,
I am so sorry to hear that you and Maya are not feeling well.
I know that Kevin understands. Glad to hear that the last tube is coming out, I know that he will be glad to not have anymore tubes and gadgets anymore.
We are still praying for Kevin here at Progressive. Please tell him that Ginger says Hi! when you see him next.
