We're back, without the tube.

The doctor removed the old tube, agreeing it should've been removed a long time ago. He did not replace it, respecting George's wishes. However, if George gets sick, starts having more pain, or starts loosing to much weight, then we'll revisit putting a new tube in. In December, he has a post-pp appoitment to see how the stoma has healed, and how he's doing overall. He has a dressing over the stoma, and he's chilling in front of the t.v. I could've left his pepsi at home, because he's not allowed to have or (wasn't) until 5pm. He thought he'd been in and out in like five minutes, not all day. BUt that's how it is when you're put under. He'll be good and hydraded because they gave him like two and a half leaters of fluids. So, he should be fine, today, but I'll be looking for signs of dehydration over the next couple of days, and and hope he's more willing to accept a tube, if he realizes he's not hydrating enough. But, again, we'll have to see.
