Last night they performed a tracheotomy and put a feeding tube in Dad's stomach. This procedure went well and when Brent and Mom saw him after this they thought he looked much better. We believe this is much more comfortable for him than the breathing tube down his throat from what we have heard from other's experiences.
The last two days have been less encouraging as far as visible responses from Dad. However, they have noticed some periods where he has appeared to be very relaxed and more comfortable which is good. The original doctor returned from vacation Monday but they have not had a chance to visit with him yet. We hope to get an update from him soon.
