This morning, Dr. Schneier was less than impressed by my progress. Meaning: he has decided to completely remove me from everything by mouth, and slowly drip antiseptic and 1 T. of nutritonal drink each hour through an epigastric tube. For those of you not schooled on medical lingo, and epigastric tube is a small tube that runs up your nose, down the back of your throat, and into your stomach. For those of you who have experienced this, it is one of the most painful procedures that you can have. The doc is hoping this will retrain my stomach, as there will constantly be food in it that it will have to get used to. Perhaps by overwhelming the stomach, the food will just vote to go down and digest instead.
I'm really having a hard time battling the mental aspect of pain and nausea today. Please pray that my body does not reject the tube feeding, and that I might be healed completely with this procedure. Also, please pray that my spirits will be lifted, and that I will feel God's peace and comfort today especially.

I am sending you GREAT BIG HUGS from Pullman! And as always I am praying for you! You are an amazingly strong woman, you have strength many can't even imagine. You are loved and in my thoughts and prayers!
Brelin,
It isn't fair, it isn't fair, it isn't fair! I can't even imagine how lousy that feels and it is a blow to the ego to be so young and lovely and have to deal with all this crap. I will wish you comfort, rest, laughter and all that is good. I won't pray for immediate healing. I'm not trying to be a pain in your neck, truly. If I pray for that and it isn't what you need you'll just have more to go through. I will devoutly pray that the best and highest things come your way. I know you have great strength, sometimes that isn't the blessing for you that other people think it might be. So I will also pray for Spirit reinforced patience in as much comfort as possible. Be at Peace. Love you. Darilyn
