I know this post is coming quite a bit late, but I am finally having time to catch up on postings since spring break. I realized I never got to post pictures from Easter. We spent Easter visiting my grandmother who was in the hospital in critical condition. We were very worried and wanted to see her. As soon as we got in town a family member called and said Granny was not doing well and it would be best for us to come straight to the hospital. We went on up there even though it was almost 9:00. Well, the visit started out very exciting for a reason of my own. When we got into Granny's room I went to pick Teryn up out of her stroller. We were using a stroller that belongs to my parents so I am not as familiar with it. As I was getting Teryn out I noticed knobs on the side so as I picked her up I made sure to swing her feeding tube around it. What I didn't realize was that I swung it around the knob on the opposite side. I pulled Teryn up into my arms and that is when she let out a pitiful, painful cry. I looked over and my unlce was holding the balloon of her feeding tube. This is the part that shoud be IN her stomach...I had pulled it out on the knob of the stroller. I layed on the bed with Granny and sent dad out for a syringe and sterile gauge. With some assistance from dad we were able to get the tube back in successfully and Teryn calmed down. I am happy to say that I have successfully changed her tube (purposefully) since then.
We visited the next 2 days with Granny and she was able to regain some of her strength and is doing somewhat better now.
On Easter day we had lunch with family and then headed back home.
