Ultrasound, Labs, and Feeding Tube

I finally hear from Dr. Frech's office. An ultrasound was ordered as well as a repeat hepatic function panel. I had these done on December 31. I thought I would end the year right. Ha.

I also had the feeding tube placed the same morning. I had a very hard time with the placement of this nasal feeding tube. It felt like my sinus was punctured. Then every time he moved the tube in and out I could feel it in my stomach/intestines. Not a pleasant feeling. So for 4 days straight my nose has been a faucet. To top it off, I now have nasty looking sores at the end of my nose. A tube and sores! Man, I am a sight for sore eyes!

Check out the sores!

Feedings are going well. I have gained some weight. Still have my goal to gain 15 pounds in 2 weeks. Not realistic, I know. But wishful thinking that I can gain the weight, get the tube out, and have the surgery and be done for 2015!!

Just waiting to hear from Dr. Frech's office for results. I have an appointment to see Dr. Rasmussen this week!
