Spoke to Nancy and the word is that the Gastroenterologist has decided that they want to wait a couple of days to see how she does without using the feeding tube before removing it. Nancy seemed quite disappointed with this decision, but her doctor who wanted it removed has gone out of town, so there is little she can do but go along with the request even though she feels strongly that the tube should be removed now. She has been given some sleeping medication again for tonight and her doctor has asked that she not be disturbed anymore than is absolutely necessary so she can get some rest tonight. Scott and his sister Leslie arrived there today though I do not know how long they plan on staying in Pittsburgh. Hannah is in the able hands of her Grandma Gail, so everything seems to be covered for the time being.
Nancy requested I encourage you all to continue to keep her in your prayers. With some rest and some time for the antibiotics to do their job, perhaps the infection associated with her feeding tube will subside and give her some pain relief as well as allow for a final decision to remove the tube as Nancy hopes they will in the end.
So, for now, all we can do is wait and hope for a resolution to this latest setback in her long road to complete recovery. As always, I will post again once I know of any change in her situation. At least we know she is in the best place she can be and is being well taken care of. That is most important to her mother and me as I am certain you can all appreciate.
Nancy's faith will see her through.
Nancy's Dad,
Vance

Nancy always in our special prayers as are the both of you. Hoping she gets past this setback soon and gets back to the wonderful new life ahead!
Much love,
Claire, Harley and the gang!
Nancy - we are thinking of you. Please let us know if we can help. Have you spoken to Dr. Pilewski for his opinion? I'm praying that you will have a quick resolution. Never feel bad about standing your ground against those doctors - sometimes they need to hear it!
Thinking of you always - Cammi
