He is doing OK. Tedi said to tell everyone that no news from her is good news. He is not in a lot of pain. He has the feeding tube in. They will do the tests the first of the week to see how well the new esophagus is working. Tedi is spending all her time at the hospital. She has been swamped with Emails and phone calls....and just doesn't have a chance to respond. They both appreciate your concern and best wishes. viv Vivian Brown Santa Ana CA ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
