I'm so glad the surgery part is over. Now we'll be praying for a smooth recovery and transition. The netting thing is a wonderful idea. It will help that big thing from flapping around. And I, too, have dealt with the post-op mix-up. Sometimes it gets a bit hectic in there. Glad you were finally able to see him. We love you and hope all goes well! Yay!

There's this netting stuff that is used on burn patients. It's kinda like a sock. You just put it around the belly. I used to put Corbie's on him, from his chest to his lower belly & then I would wrap up the tube & stuff in under the netting. I'm so sorry!!! you & Samuel had to wait to be back together. You may remember but something simular happened to Corb & I at our hospital. They forgot to come tell me he was done & in recovery, instead they broght him back to his floor/room & by the time I got to him to was totally freaking out. The nurse did write up a report on that one but only because I told EVERYONE he needed me the second he woke up. UGH!!! I still know you & Samuel will eventually be very happy with the tube. Don't get me wrong though there are bumps in the road when the tube is new but after some time you will love it. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me. Caradie Hi Teresa,
