Jeff Young's Fight Against Colon Cancer

Miracles are on the Horizon

Jeff started having bowel movements Friday night. This is huge because it means that we can work him back up to eating again. The thought is that he most likely had an ileus and it just corrected itself. Jeff and I removed his bowel spasm medicine Thursday night and we think that might have had something to do with it.
Dr. Tim wants to get a dietitian in here so someone can guide us on how much Jeff needs to be taking in to get his strength back. Right now he is still mostly sticking to liquids like Ensure. He is tired a lot, but I think that is because he needs some nutrients for energy.
He is still vomiting on occasion, but not like he was before. I truly believe all the prayers, chants and positive energy are what is slowly going to bring Jeff back to us. So, everyone keep doing what your doing. Hope all is well with everyone. Take care.
