should have written this the other day....

for those who don't know a nasogastric tube is a feeding tube that goes up the nose and down the throat into your stomach...it is for people who are having trouble eating or aren't eating.....they put the food through the tube...anyway as you know Phil hated the tube with an undying passion and since having it taken out he has been more motivated to eat than i have ever seen before. So that is an answer to prayer. He has also been given some drugs to stimulate his appetite and they seem to be working he ate his dinner last night plus half of mum's.

Last night he also had his first night by himself in hospital (first night alone in this last two weeks in that is), Dad came home and slept on the condition that Phil's pain meds would be in ready supply if he needed them, apparently Phil slept well, and if Dad hadn't had super rich chocolately pudding cake right before he went to bed I'm sure he would have too!....
