Earl update 6/14/07

Good morning everyone,

First.... thank you to my sister for last night's post. We have no Internet access at the apt, so have not checked the blog or email since Monday a.m.

Earl got a real good chuckle out of the comments left about the "cheesecake" photo. Thanks for taking time to leave the comments.

Doctor told Earl this morning that his stomach is just being a bit sluggish about emptying like it should. It's being stubborn (like Earl?).... one nurse said "like a mule". We've been told that what is happening has nothing to do with what he ate or what he did or didn't do. Early release made no difference. It might have happened even if he were still in the hospital. So, I guess we don't need to second guess about "why".

While in hosp last week, Earl was getting one medication via IV that helped make his stomach work/empty. He may be sent home with pill form of that this time. Did not have that after release on Monday.

Doctor said they would keep the tube in today and may let him out tomorrow (Friday). This is just a temporary set-back!

Thank you for the continued prayers.

Lillian
