Rough night

Sheldon had a bit of a rough night. He is not tolerating the "food" they are giving him very well and had trouble keeping his meals down. While he was sleeping he managed to pull the feeding tube out of his nose. This earned him a double dose of razipan, and he has been sleeping soundly ever since. The nurses hooked him up to IV nutrients for now to prevent further vomiting episodes.

This morning the doctors found a small amount of leakage around the oxygen tube in Sheldon's throat. This is actually good news, and means that some swelling has gone down in his throat and that Sheldon is getting some air past the tube. There will be a re-assessment at 10:30 this morning and if everything looks good, they will try to remove tube. This is quite scary for Sheldon and the family since it has not gone well in the past.
