So yesterday the hospital called, and Steve is probably going to get a permanent feeding tube. He has become more agitated and is sleeping most of the time. It appears he may not be able to go back to the rehab center. Hopefully there will be more information tomorrow.

Dave, thanks for posting what information you can, Steve is in my prayers.

Keep being hopeful. Thank you for keeping us informed.
Prayers being sent.

Keeping fingers crossed, hope this gets a bit better soon.
Thanks for the updates.

- oh - hope for a better prognosis later....

This does not sound good. My thoughts and best wishes for Steve.

we are all praying for a good recovery for Steve. Just out of curiosity has anyone discussed with Steve what he wants for life sustaining measures vs what he doesn't want, or who can speak for him if it comes to the point where he cannot speak for himself? Sorry had to take off my Model T hat for a moment and put on my nurse hat.

Oh no. Not the news we want to hear.
How permanent is the feeding tube?

From a medical perspective this will provide better nutrition & hydration opportunities for Steve & staff plus less potential issues with aspiration seen with a temporary feeding tube. The decision to perform surgery was one that the physician’s & family discussed in great depth I assume. Once Steve is recovering they will make another decision for surgery to remove the tube or not to remove it until even more recovery milestones are met. Prayers are going up for a full recovery.

My observations of feeding tubes is folks tend to remove them to quick, He had come along ways and then back down ,dang it,

C’mon Steve, you are the DAUNTLESS GEEZER! Fight! You can do it! We await more adventures and wish you the best.

Thanks for the update, even though the news is not very favorable. Steve will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Praying for you Steve
