We are taking about 50 ml of residual out of the G (tube feeders will understand). Jude's diapers have greatly decreased and his urine is dark too. It was a very long night last night and I just couldn't sleep. just did fairly well but his oxygen kept dipping and he had a horrible retching cough. So I made several phone calls this morning and the plan is to get Jude in at 10 am tomorrow to change his tube. We will then wait and see how he does to determine if he needs antibiotics for possible aspiration pneumonia. They wanted Jude to go through the ER but I explained he is on hospice and our job is to keep him comfortable. Admitting him would not make him comfortable. So they helped us and we are getting transportation set up to get him to the appointment in the morning.
