This from Cheri, then a cut and paste from Ray. All good news but slightly different. Bruce ----- Forwarded Message ----- Hi Bruce, Just wanted to share the great news we received this morning -- the ng process worked and David will NOT be needing surgery! I am certain he will be VERY happy to have that ng tube removed and be given some real food :) We will keep you posted on his recovery. A huge thank you for everyone's prayers for him! Cheri Just got another text from Boni. They did more x-rays on David this morning. After taking in the contrast yesterday, it goes all the way through, so there is no blockage & no surgery required. A liquid diet at this point. Ray Krom
