Today is my 4th day with the NG tube and it still bothers my throat. :( I keep going over the pros and cons between the NG tube and a PICC line.  I can't decide which I like better.  The PICC line can be hidden but the NG tube is less maintenance.  Honestly I think if I had to choose again I would choose a PICC Line only because the placing of the NG was too traumatic.  Last night was the first time we really had difficulty with the NG (like my dad said) hopefully I will be able to tolerate it tonight because I need to run at that rate in order for the nutrition to go in over 12 hours, if not we'll have to call the nutritionist and figure out a new plan.  We talked to my old Pediatrician yesterday and he doesn't think it will take as long as they are saying to get my albumin up because it wasn't that long ago that my albumin was ok.  I am not getting my hopes up but it would be nice if it was a shorter process. I need to get ready for the day... more later!

Last night was tough.  The feed rate was too rich and Kylee  felt nauseated.  Kristi dialed it down and Kylee was able to tolerate the flow better.  Because she didn't sleep so well she is sleeping today.  Since it is raining probably a good choice.  She and I might go see Batman the Dark Knight today (something to look forward to).  More later,
