Journal entry by Raychel Vorhies —
Hey All!
I spoke with Jeff last week. He had his dental check up (required before starting chemo/radiation) & all went well. He got some caps for his teeth and some fluoride toothpaste to help keep his teeth strong and in good shape.
He also had his consult on installing his port and g-tube (for feeding) last Thursday.
His surgery for those two procedures is scheduled for March 17th. Pending he clears all the pre op physicals this week. He has asked me to come to MN to take him to the hospital. He will have to spend 1-2 nights in the hospital for the surgery.
So, I will be around to care for his beloved pet, Bandit! Also, to support and help him before and afterwards.
This week he has to meet with his primary dr for a post op check on Monday, he also has a swallow test to see if he aspirates (food gets into his lungs). He will see his cardiologist Tuesday also as a pre-op measure.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers this week as he navigates all this. Prayers that all goes well and he will be cleared for his port and g tube surgery!
That’s all for now! Thanks friends.
Post comments! He likes to read them!
