Annoyed.

Olivia is a bit better, but has her moments, of course. The goal for today is to get some answers. She had an echo this morning to check the placement of her central line (haven't heard anything back yet). She also is supposed to see the GI doctor and see if he has any thoughts, concerns, or suggestions as to why she doesn't seem to be tolerating her feeds. The surgical team just left, and quite frankly, I'm annoyed. The attending surgeon came in and loosened the "peg" that is holding her g-tube in place. Now, this was mentioned by a resident last week...that the tube was too tight, but no one did anything about it. Supposedly it can cause a lot of pain and discomfort, both inside and out. So why did it take 6 days to come and loosen that? It seems like an easy fix to me. I didn't ask why it's taken so long, because in all reality, why does it matter. It's not going to make me feel any better.
I'm trying to look at the positives and think that maybe this was the whole problem and now it is fixed. One bonus from today is that her Lovenox dose seems to finally be within a therapeutic range. Another positive is that the movie lady came around and we don't have to watch Barney anymore today...on to Dora. Who could want anything more out of life, really.
