949-764-6628 or 6th floor room 028 of west wing: Park in the large parking structure, then enter through womans pavilion; turn right @ registration desk and go to the end of the long hall and turn right; continue ahead to the elevators and go to the 6th floor; then turn right to end of hall and you are there.
Endoscopy turned out to be an Upper GI. Due to swelling in the surgery area, they were unable to complete the procedure. This effort was real hard on Diane but must be repeated at a future date. On the good side, her stamina is improving on a daily basis and I believe the next effort will be successful. The Doctor was in today and really liked how well Diane was doing. She had her 1st shower today (sponge baths just don't get it).
Diane is having some good days right now but that will be short lived when they begin to retrain her stomach by clamping her drain line: Fluid will build up in her stomach causing nausea and this will go on for months.
The bottom line is she now has a life to live at the end of this event. I will continue to update the blog, but for now the crisis is over and thank all of you profusely. Jeff

Hi Diane & Jeff
We just arrived today in Brookings, Oregon. Our camp areas have been at the Elks Lodges along the way, so no computer. Finally we have had a chance to read the blog and see how Diane's been progressing. Sounds like she is on the road to recovery.
Knowing she have so many vistors, loving family and friends we will wait and call when things settle down.
For now we are sending a bunch of love and distance hugs...get your rest.
Love
Randy & Kathy
