Nothing much has changed in the last month.  I'm still on the feeding tube machine and have the drain out of my side.  I have lost 12 pounds this last month that I'm happy about but not my doctor.  It's just hard to gain or maintain weight on that machine.  

I go in for a lot of tests in about a week.  My doctor is going to do an endoscopy down my throat and see how my leak looks.  He then may decide to either put some glue from the inside of my stomach or maybe put a stent in the hole to help new growth cells to form and close the leak.  I pray that when they test me next week all will be healed on its own and I'll be over this.  

I want to thank everyone for their kind words and good wishes for my recovery.  It means more than you know!
