Spent the night in the er

I am exhausted! I had to go to Saint Marys hospital last night. Last night I had just finished fixing dinner and cleaning it up. I went and sat down to remove my dressing from my feeding tube so I could take a shower.

Well I decided I needed my son to give me a hug before I got in the shower. He came over and hugged me. When he got up to move it pulled my feeding tube almost all the way out. It hurt so bad I thought I would pass out.

Right after I got the feeding tube, they told me if it ever slips out, pu**** right back in or the hole will close. Well I tried to and blood gushed out and horrible pain. So I stood up to call my husband to come home from work and it fell right out.

Hubby rushed home, mother in law came to watch Alex. Well it took me about 90 minutes to get to the hospital after it happened. They pushed and pulled tubes in my stomach. I thought I would die from pain. They did xrays. UGH.

And in the end, after being soaked in blood they said they couldn't  help me anymore. That they will schedule another tube placement tomorrow. So I have to go 45 more minutes to hospital to get placed again.

This is NOT how I planned on celebrating Thanksgiving! I guess we will wait and see when it has to go back in. Oh when they put it in, it hurts so stinking bad. I am considering not putting it back in, but I don't think the doctor will go for it. I tried 1/2 protein drink this morning and vomited within 10 minutes.

Sorry to write so much. Sorry if I sound like a baby, I just needed to vent. Love you guys!

I am so sorry that you are going to through this. I wish that there was something that I could do for you. Take it easy and let us know how you are doing.

Oh sweetie!  I am so sorry this happened!  Please don't not let them put the tube back in.  You need it so badly right now (but not forever!).  I am glad you got to St. Mary's...they are awesome there!  I spent some time myself there yesterday.  Thankfully you had people close to you that could help quickly.  I am here if you need anything...ust let me know!  I will be praying for you!

Thanks for letting us know Brooke. I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. You are in my prayers.

OH honey, i'm so sorry for all your pain, and what you are going through.  NEVER apologize for venting, it lets us all keep a grip on sanity.  I hope your procedure goes well today, and you are feeling better ASAP!  sending you tons of cyber-(((hugs))) and lots of prayers, lys

thanks everyone! I am on my way to work now. I will let you know what happens. Dr office called already. They are going to schedule the outpatient surgery and call me back with a time.

Oh my goodness.  I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that pain last night and then will again today.  I'm sending BIG HUGS and strength to get through it.  Let us know that everything went okay later on!

I am sorry Brooke -  that must hurt so bad and be so tough - but you do need to have the tube put back in..... hopefully they will put it back in before tomorrow so you can get this procedure out of the way.... and enjoy Thanksgiving!

Sending hugs your way!
