The tubes

Kent apparently doesn't like having tubes in him. When my parents returned to his last night he had managed to pull his feeding tube out of his nose. The nurse told us earlier yesterday that pulling it out would be close to impossible and very painful. There was no blood so we aren't quite sure how he got it out. In order to keep him from pulling ALL of his tubes out they strapped his arms back down. He didn't like that either. He then proceeded to try to wrap his legs around the tubes and pull them out that way. Dad said that he isn't sure how much of it is voluntary but we think it's kind of funny.

Kent is still leaking cerebral fluid. The doctors said that it may take up to 12 days for that to heal and he's a 7 days. He also still can't open his right eye. The neurosurgeon told us that he has nerve damage in that eye that is likely causing double vision and may have to wear a patch over it. Ben thinks that his may not be such a bad thing. He says it will make him look dangerous.

My parents wanted me to thank you for all of your prayers and fasts. We firmly believe that they have been key in Kent's recovery. Please keep it up!
