5 1/2 Hours Later.......

Our G-tube tragedy is history......We spent 5 1/2 hours up at Children's in the ER to no avail. Would you believe that after we got all the way up there, went through all the paperwork and initial assessment, the only interventional radiologist that they have is on vacation. So, they gave me an option of being admitted and waiting a couple of days until the IR doc returned or simply switching giving his meds through the J-port of his GJ-Tube. I'm sure you can guess which option I chose. We are back home again and everything is just fine.

The ER doc on call today was able to re-inflate the balloon that keeps the GJ-Tube in tact and that seems to have helped. If we still have problems, then I will switch the meds to the other port and go back to the hospital once the IR doc is back. While we were there in the ER, the nurse was able to suction out Little Bug's nose and lower throat area which relieved him of a lot of congestion, so all was not lost in our day trip to Children's.

On the way home Connor and I ran a couple of errands (one of which was Costco and Connor did great!!!) and now we are back home enjoying the back porch and the nice breeze. We heard from daddy by phone while we were at the hospital. He felt terrible that we were back there, but grateful it was only a short stay. He is still fighting off the terrible cold he left with and is very tired. He will be back with us at the end of the week and we can't wait!!!

Well, off to put away the Costco supplies and give Little Bug a cool bath. More from Little Bug's nest later, but for now...

Lovebug Hugs,
