ND or NG tube? That is the question.

Hello All! Got here around noon today and Liliana was chillin in her crib. Heart rate looks good, oxygen saturation looks good, and no temperatures. Yeah! However, it always seems like there's always a but. She was taken down to have her gastric study done this morning and whomever was working down in Radiology put the formula/dye down the wrong tube. How you may say did that happen? Well, this morning our nurse put an NG (stomach tube) in the nostril that did not have the corpac in. Well, apparently the person doing the procedure did not know the difference and thus you know what happened. The resident came in and apologized over and over again. So, the new plan of the day is for Liliana to go back at 2pm at which that time I will be going down with her to make sure they put the solution in the right tube. Can you believe it? Poor thing can't eat anything until after the test is over. More about that later...
