Hello from the ER at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Nathaniel’s nasal feeding tube is clogged. That’s probably the easiest thing for us to fix – pull line, put in new line.
But he also has bed sores that haven’t healed since his last visit.
And he threw his back out last night. It’s probably nothing but while we’re here it’s probably good to get it looked at.
And he’s coughing.
I worry the most when he’s coughing.
Anyway, all indications are that we’re going to be here overnight before anyone even decides what the treatment plan is. We packed for the possibility. The dogs were boarded anyway because we just had the kitchen painted.
More later.

To the young woman across from us threatening to leave the ER because it’s been 3 hours already and they’re saying up front it’ll be another 3 hours and this is ridiculous:
Oh you sweet summer child.

Sending up 🙏🏻🙏🏻 all goes well.🥰
Hi there At the ER, Mom & Dad here this evening watching another baseball game.
Thanks for the info. Anne
Here’s to Hoping that the Coughing Isn’t
Leading to Any Further Lung Issues.
Would a Back massage & Heating Pad & Pain Med Be Helpful ??
Would Moisturizer Creme/Lotion Help the Bed Sores?
Love ❤️ to you both,
Mom & Dad
It never rains but it pours. You amaze me by the way you keep from becoming frazzled. (And I LOVED “0h you sweet summer child”!)
Hope some progress has been made and you and Nathaniel see a light shining, even if it’s at a distance.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
