Well, I thought I was done for the night. But, as we were moving Bill from the bedside comode to his chair his feeding tube fell out. We thought at first that it had just disconnected between the "feeder" and the tube, but the tube came out of his stomach! So, now he has a hole in his belly! The drs. have consulted and Dr. Hosenpud was not in the hospital so Dr. Keller, one of the lung transplant drs. came and looked at it. He has consulted with the GI docs and they will probably replace it tomorrow. They have now had to change his anti-rejection meds to IV to go through the PIC line instead of through the feeding tube. Poor guy! He's exhausted from all the walking and moving and then prodding and poking. He's finally back to bed and asleep and she's going to have to wake him up to give him his Prograf which goes under his tongue! When the sitter gets here, I'm going home!
