A rough day

The day started with a big clog that just wouldn't go away. Mom normally has 6-7 cans of food in her tube per day. She had had less than 4 when the tube clogged. She finally got into Doctor Ott's office this afternoon. He changed the Prilosec from one to put in the feeding tube to one that she will have to swallow. (We think that was one of the problems with the clogging). He had to give her a local anesthetic and then some stitches to secure the new feeding tube.
Besides being weak from the lack of nutrients, she had a hard time holding her food down today. She threw up quite a bit. Her tummy was really hurting tonight where the stitches are. She went to bed a little earlier tonight. Hopefully she'll get some good rest and be feeling better in the morning.
