Here is the latest (as of today)
Kaylee was excited to be able to venture away from the bed and recliner today as she has been housebound all week. Unfortunately, nothing too exciting except an xray and some blood work. She is really getting used to her crutches and can exceed speed limits when needed.
It was also a good day for Jesse. This morning, he was able to get his NG hose out. Although it was also uncomfortable coming out (not nearly as much as going in), he is glad it is over. The constriction on his intestines is opening and he no longer needs his stomach pumped. They will keep him in the hospital on an IV diet to ensure all things are working properly. He has been given strict orders to get up and walk every hour so his stomach (which has been idle for some time) can start doing its thing. If you visit, take him for a walk. He is also excited to use the fancy scale in the hospital to see if he is gaining weight. He gained 4 ounces yesterday. Yea God!

That's great news, Tim! I'm sure being hospital-bound is taking its toll on Jesse, so it is nice to see that he is finding enjoyment in the little things. ;-D
