Tube Free

Today Sam pulled out her feeding tube again, but finally for the last time. Her Doctor said to keep it out.....for good. Way to go Sam! This was the last tube in her body and now she is tube free. When I visited her this evening, she said she pulled it out because it was bothering her. I'm glad that she can have her body back and that the binder that protected the tube is no longer wrapped around her middle, making her sweat. It will also allow her more mobility in physical therapy. I was thrilled tonight to see the little bandage on her stomach.. Finally, the tube that has not be used in over a month has been removed, courtesy of Sam. Also, on a slightly different note, Sam got the answer to the final jeopardy question this evening....it was about Napoleon, and I asked Sam what State in the United States is French, or did the French settle (the main question was more complicated, but this was the gist of it), and Sam thought for a moment and then said Louisiana. Louisiana it was! Quite exciting.
