Estelle's hospital appointment for tube replacement is 7AM tomorrow, Tuesday, December 20th.
Dan and I will accompany her and, hopefully, she will be able to get the "button tube" this time around. The fact that the tube keeps getting dislodged so frequently is disturbing. We don't know if it's just falling out or if she's actively pulling it out. Every time we're there they've got it covered with her clothing, a pillow and the blankets on top of all of it - but she does try to get at it and it could be that she's succeeding.
Anyhow, it can't be good for her to keep needing to go back and forth to the hospital and have it reinserted.
We were hoping to take her to a Hanukkah party on Wednesday afternoon but now we're unsure if we should. Dan took the day off to be available, we bought her a pretty new outfit to wear and we were looking forward to it, but now we're unsure. The trip and the surgery take alot out of her - and it'll be just 24 hours later. The nurses have also warned us that there's an upper respiratory infection going around. We surely don't want her to catch anything and she was coughing some this weekend as it was.
We'll see how she does with the replacement, how her cough is and we'll play it by ear, I guess.
