Tucker's not eating again.

Yesterday we called Dr. Audrey Marshall, she is covering for Sr. Porras while he is on vacation, Dr. Marshall was the surgeon why did Tuckers cath and placed his stints after birth. She told us that he wasn't eating enough and that we should come back into Children's for the NG tube. So Gary left work and picked Tucker up at Meredith's house, and brought him directly to the 8th floor for admission. We were moved all over the floor before we settled into room 834. This room is right next to two very large ICU mechanical doors, enough noise to just make you insane.

The plan for day one was to just see how much he is taking PO and seethe really needed the tube. Our fantastic NP from the cardiology program AnnMarie stopped by for a visit, she told me that it was crazy for us to waste all this time here, we came in for the tube, so she will talk to a few folks and get it's placement expedited since I just went back to work this week. She is amazing, because it was placed within the hour.

While it was being placed I introduced myself to the other mom Herron the floor with the same last name as us. I told her that I was checking in to see how a member of our family was. We swapped stories and told her to swing by if she wanted to meet Tucker. It was nice to swap stories, her son Hunter, just had the Glenn, which is what Tucker will have next month. I wish that I had someone to talk to that has been through this before. I filled out a patient match card to get in touch with a family that has already gone through this before.
This visit hasn't been without drama! We are in a shared room with a sick little girl from New York who cries ALL DAY LONG! I do not have any Advil either, ugh! It was her older brothers birthday and he was completely ignored by his fighting parents that should be divorced if they fight like that in public. Thank god that I have the amazing husband that I have. Tonight I go to sleep and I am very thankful. Lonely since I have not seen Gary in two days, but I know that our marriage can handle anything.
