Leif had a restful day. He had some little visitors... his three youngest grandchildren (Neil, age 3, Megan, 7 months and Joshua, 4 months) were able to be with him in his new room which looks over the hospital playground. Leif is unresponsive but we believe that he knows they were with him today.
Leif's blood sugar level has been increasing and hit a concerning high today. This is a direct result of the liquid diet he has been receiving via feeding tube. He had been receiving insulin to counter-balance the high sugar levels. Even with keeping his sugar levels in-check, Leif was still in danger of a blockage due to lack intestinal output. So, the decision was made to remove his feeding tube to make him more comfortable.
