Day-11- NG Tube Finally Removed – So Brave See Video

Posted on December 1, 2013 by admin in Hayley's Journey, Hayley’s TP/AIT - TP/AIT, Pancreatectomy with Auto-Islet Transplant, TPAIT No Comments

Day-11- NG Tube Finally Removed – So Brave See Video   Hayley woke up in brighter spirits today She felt much peppier between 6:30am and 8:30am. We did our usual walk but she was in noticeable pain. The nurse came in at 7am and asked if she’d like the NG tube out. She said YET AGAIN if Hayleys fluid output was excellent compared to the previous days and they felt it could come out. …Answer: YES! Hayley had a suppository today. Her bowels have not moved. NG Stomach Drain – Removed – (See Video) Hayley said she was going to pull her NG tube out herself. This is a tube that is approximately 2ft long (about ½”inch in diameter) running an estimated 8-9” inches out of her left nostril all the way down her throat and into her “gut” where it coils and sucks out all the fluids the body produces thus shutting down the bowels. Another 12-18” inches would be the length to the stomach. Hayley gave it an honest try and then politely asked the nurse to take over. The nurse was sweet and told her to brace herself and in one steady motion the tube was pulled. It came along with some fluids from the stomach but all in all Hayley did not react. (See Video) It all happened so quickly that she didn’t have a chance to react. She said it was a weird feeling in her throat and chest, like a pulling or tugging feeling, nothing more nothing less. It was out! The only downside now would be if Hayley’s bowels didn’t wake up the tube would have to go back in. When they put it back you are not asleep there is no assistance just you and a nurse and a tube…Yikes! In fact they do it bedside so Hayley was NOT having any part of that.

    Hayley Devoe – CBC Radio Interview – Jun 18, 2013

    listen

    This is a radio interview done with CBC Radio Edmonton from the Alberta Stollery Children's Hospital May 31st, 2013. The interview was done one month after her 13 hour (TP/IAT) Total Pancreactomy & Auto Islet Transplant. By this time Hayley should have had a lot less pain than she was experiencing but we were remaining optimistic. Hayley had opportunity to do both radio and TV interviews to talk about being the 2nd child in Canada to undergo this type of rare surgery and also bring raise awareness to the wrath of Chronic Pancreatitis and the TP/IAT procedure. Hayley chose not to do any further interviews to support the surgery because she already knew in her heart that the surgery was NOT doing what it was supposed to. The surgery was done with almost no pre-testing. Looking back I am now wondering what did the doctor base his positive comment on? His words were that he was 99.9% sure that the surgery was going to help Hayley's pain considerably and maybe even stop it altogether! Never did he say it could make it worse...
