Barry's tube had only been in about 5 weeks, and there was a lot of range of motion so it looked as if the stomach and internal abdominal wall were not healed together -- in fact this may have contributed to the failure, who knows?

Anyway, so far so good re his eating -- and only 7 more days! (Of course we know that it will be a long uphill from that last day of treatment...)
