Arghhhh!!! The tube fell out again this morning. It doesn't appear to have been pulled out, this time the balloon failed, but the end result is the same. Estelle needs another IV and another trip to the hospital for replacement.
I am awaiting a call from her doctor. We'd like to have a different sort of tube put in this time but it needs a physician order and we are unsure if this doctor likes the different tube or if there is some medical reason why it would be contraindicated in Estelle's particular case.
Either way, we are waiting for an appointment at the day-surgery department at the hospital.
Otherwise, all else remains the same. She is still alert and she is still suffering repetitive and random arm and hand movements.
I will be discussing that with the doctor, as well.
