Feeding tube has to stay in...

Well, I went to Dr.B today and I have to keep the feeding tube in, but I can stop the TPN. He wants to make sure I'm able to at least get in enough liquids on my own before he takes it out. Not the news I wanted but I will be patient and I thank GOD for Dr.B and his wisdom. It would be awful to have the feeding tube taken out just to realize that I can't eat on my own and have to have another one put in the other arm. Thanks for your continued prayers and keep your fingers crossed for next Monday. Love yall! Robin

gosh I hate to hear this ,sip & try & get the liquids down

I never liked to drink before but I am craving a apple martini so bad after all I've been through. Bet I could sip, sip, sip that bad boy on down!

So sorry to hear that Robin!! Better to be safe than sorry. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that it comes out soon!! Melissa

Sorry it was not better news. But if Dr. B thinks it needs to stay in, then it needs to stay in. Like Becky said, sip, sip, sip. I hope you get better news next week. Julie

I am sorry to hear that Robin but as good as you have been doing, I bet next Monday will be the day! Hope to see you Thursday! Susann

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I will stay positive and push forward. Robin

Hi Robin! Just wanted to say that my doctor did the same thing ... I had to live with the feeding tube dangling from my upper arm for at least a week (can't remember how long he made me wait) before he'd remove it. As I'm sure you know, getting one of those lines in is a pain (literally!) ... hang in there another few days and you will be FREEEEE! I'm really happy that you're off the "White Bag O' Doom" now though! Sending all my positive thoughts your way, hoping that your rested digestive system will work as it's supposed to now! Dawn

hey Robin I really hate to hear you have to keep the feeding tube in. But it for the best. And I will keep praying to have it out soon for you. Take Care Sharon

So sorry you didnt get the news you wanted. But it will happen....And by the way..You look GREAT..I will keep youin my prayers. Love jennifer
