(The last thread was a plea of desperation. This is still about John, but not as desperate anymore.)
Tomorrow, John (hubby) is going to his infamous/famous swallow test. I'm sure he can swallow. Thought it would be good to pray for as little pain on his tush as possible (given it's also the day they repack the wound.) And, yeah, that he can eat by the end of the day.
Also, he really has trouble with taste. (That's why I know he can swallow. He's been sucking ice, drinking water, and sucking on sugar-free candy for quite some time.) Every time he puts something different in his mouth, it looks like he got one of those earwax jellybeans from Hogwarts. When water makes you do that, you can blame it on how bad Philadelphia water is, but the hard candy was the candy he liked before all this happened. And, yeah, mouthwash tastes bad, but he used it every morning before this happened without making faces. Kids who have been tube fed for a long time hate everything they try afterward too, so it is a thing. But to finally be able to eat again but all food taste nasty just seems too much.
So tomorrow is the big day. Prayers please.
