Mom - Saturday Update

This morning, mom had an xray (no results yet, so we don't know if the bowel is still twisted or is getting untwisted). They did stop her nasogastric tube from draining at about 10am until about 6pm. That is when she vomited... so they started the tube draining again. They did give her a shot of something for nausea. Dad states she is rubbing her stomach alot tonight, so it must be bothering her. She's trying not to take the pain medication, because she wants "the tube" out of her nose. Even though this tube is helping her, she doesn't like it at all!!! She has been up sitting in the chair tonight and has been up and walking the halls a few times.

She has not had many visitors but loves the internet greetings she is getting through the Trinity Regional Medical Center link: http://www.trmc.org/send-a-card.cfm
