Another detubing

Over time, Annie and I have developed are more and more complicated system for taping down Raphael's NGT to his face to prevent him from finding a way to pull it out. Today he used a technique to get rid of the tube that he has only used once before. He vomited with such force that he expelled the tube nearly completely. I had to pull it out the rest of the way because it was too far out to just shimmy back in again.

He was so proud of himself having pulled out the tube, until I reminded him that it would have to be reinserted.

Oh well I suppose We'll have to go into the hospital today to have it reinserted.
