Nellie Causes Havoc

Tuesday evening Nellie would not give way to a water flush before performing the night time feeding task.  On the second attempt, the water backfired into the startled faces of myself and Chelsea.  After another failed attempt, this mission was also aborted (remember last week?)  The next morning, Beth arrived to take me to a blood draw appointment.  I figured my nurse would fix the problem and we'd be off for a little adventure, if only to take a drive in the sun.  Rather, what led to this visit was a series of unfortunate events that ended up in the Radiology Department of Shore Memorial.  I was feeling quite a bit of anxiety, hoping this blockage could be fixed safely.  The scary doctor at Urgent Care had be right, they needed an xray to pinpoint the problem spot.  The radiologist had never seen my type of feeding tube set-up before but he managed to figure it out and fix it.  We got back to the yellow house around 5 and after calls to home care nurse, Dr. Mathai's nurse and the pess nurse, there is now a new plan to hopefully prevent this from happening again. And, despite also learning that the transplant committee delayed a decision again (another test wanted) I woke up today feeling pretty good.  This mishap had worked out okay.  Nellie appears happier and so am I.
