Cambrie update:Yes, my tube clogged yesterday but thankfully it wasn't a huge deal to get it fixed this time. AND...the doctor gave me the wire so that I can manually de-clog it at home. I was VERY surprised that she did that becauses nurses are never allowed to to do anything like that even in the hospital. Only GI doctors do it. But, I've not it. Also, next friday the doctor will put in a tube that is almost twice as big in diameter so hopefully it will stop clogging.
Yes, Kiera has been very sick. Took her to the doctor today. Ear infections on top of the nasty viral bug she's got. This too shall pass.
I'm surviving life ok now. I have buff over twice a week to help out for a few hours. Buff is wonderful to play with Kiera and help me with cleaning. I send kiera to play at a friend's house twice a week, and then I randomly invite people to come over for play days. I manage life alright under those circumstances (as long as kiera is healthy and my tube is working). I'm not exactly the best housekeeper, cook, or playmate for kiera-- but we are getting by from day to day.
steve is busy preparing for finals week which is 1 week away. Kiera misses her daddy (who is now her favorite person). I'll be glad when he has a break for a few days and play with us!

Cambrie, it seems like most of the time (I saw) that your tube got clogged, it clogged just at the end of your feeding...what if you just got rid of it a little before it ran out to avoid that last bit that wants to clog? I don't know. Maybe that wouldn't make a difference.
