Cant believe we're on day 6 in the ICU! I guess the ENT folks cant either - so they've decided to start Gabe on the steroids in an attempt to decrease the swelling in his throat so they can get that tube out.
Gabe's new feeding tube didn't go in as far as they wanted so they taped it a little loose hoping that he'll swallow it to where it needs to go. They gave him some kind of medicine that will help that tube get down through the stomach as well.
While that tube finds it's way they're slowly increasing the food through the tube. Gabe's tummy is hurting - maybe hunger - maybe gas. Nan's rubbing the tummy and Gabe's falling asleep. It's tough to see him uncomfortable - especially after being here so long - he hasn't been able to speak this whole time.
Thanks to Auntie Lauren and Sophie for dropping by today - we had fun watching the Crocodile Hunter on TV.
Nan's folks arrive tomorrow - Gabe will be happy to see them I'm sure.
Watching Kansas play Michigan - Gabe (with Rachal's help) has picked Michigan. Sorry Creightons! At least Gabe picked a good week of sports to be sick.
