A few more

Yesterday they put in James' NG tube. He didn't handle it well. It took about an hour to relax and quit throwing up. Any sudden movements would make him start gagging. They did an X-ray on him just to make sure it was in the right spot and it was. Once we got his body to relax he only threw up once and it was because he sat up real quick. He won't get to get come home today because they just barely switched all his meds from IV this morning. They said the plan today is just to see if he can handle taking all his medication without getting sick. So hopefully he will be ok and will get to leave soon. I guess it's ok he doesn't get to come home today because we had our carpets cleaned yesterday and he can't go in the apartment for 40 hours after. He is also getting a speech evaluation today to see if he needs to continue with speech therapy or not.  We are all so anxious and impatient to get him home. It's hard to just relax and wait. My husbands favorite phrase is " I hate waiting" from Princess Bride. We definitely hate sitting here waiting but it's ok.
