Here\u2019s a quick update to let you know Chloe had her nose tube removed today and her stomach tube placed. This tube is placed from the inside out via and endoscomy. The total procedure from set up to take down lasted one hour. Dr. Marshall said there were no complications and Dr. Rose, the gas man, was good for many jokes before the procedure and efficiency during. <\/p>\n
In six to eight weeks we will replace this bulky tube with a button that is almost flush with the skin. So, for now, she will have to be a little gentle with the tube. It\u2019s sticking up and out of her belly just to the left of her belly button. I think it will be a bit awkward at first but I also believe it will give the throat a lot better chance of recovering the swallow.<\/p>\n
We are going to make the rest of the day restful. She has morphine on board and we will probably nix the afternoon activities. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s all for now. Everyone is tired but okay.<\/p>\n
Be well,
