20 hours
Nothing new with Adriana today she will be off for 4 hours from her tpn, so she will start running for 20 hours from now on. I had to check her sugars last night right before connection and they seemed to be fine, 81 was our number. I have to check them tonight 2 times just to get a number and range of where she stands. I dread poking her and making her cry, I just hate it. Other than that Adriana has been having some yellow liquid come out of her NG tube when her feeds are disconnected. It doesnt have a smell or anything but its yellow, what could it be? I think bile is green right? anyone have any suggestions or had anything similar to tis happen? could it just be stomach juices, like acid? well for now I am not too sure what it is, I just hate the NG tube. The connection part gets very wide and its hard to just shut it, it starts to leak and you have to tape it, but then when you want to connect the feeds you have to untape it. I just hate it, ugh well Adriana is doing good
