Black Friday

No "Black Friday" shopping for us. As Lindsey said in the last entry, around 7 p.m. Thanksgiving night, Pam's feeding tube came out. We had had some problems with it slipping out about 5 inches a couple of times during the last couple of days. I was able to "shove it back in" and tape it down those times. When I called her surgeon in Chapel Hill last night, he said to go to New Hanover Hospital and have them put it or a replacement back in. After the usual wait in the emergency room, a kind doctor reinserted it and stitched it down. Maybe it will stay put for a while. This one leaks a little and he tried a couple types of catheters to replace it but couldn't get them to go in.
Anyway, we arrived back home around 1:30 this morning. It's been pretty typical since then. Staci stayed up with her until around 5:30 when I went back on "duty." She's resting pretty good right now (9:00 a.m.). Thanks for your thoughts, prayers, and acts of kindness.
