Hi,
Kris has been back to the operating room tonight. The surgeons suspected a number of leaks from his suture sites in his throat. There were a few leaks but all are sorted now - I hope.
The surgeon did mention that at the time of surgery they did remark on how damaged all his tissues were from last years radiation and chemo - again the gift that keeps on giving.
So, hope it will be at least 2 steps forward now before we take another back.
I' let you all know.
Cheers,
Tammy
