What a night. Nic pulled her tube out a few times last night and now has a nurse in her room supervising her. She's still medically unstable and they are testing liver, heart and kidney function. The Doctor told Tim she threatened to leave against medical advice and that insurance wouldn't pay for her stay if that happened. So, the doctor told Nic if she wanted to leave she would have to sign herself out but before she could sign he would have her transferred to the psych ward where they COULD hold her and she would still have the ng tube and probably stay longer.
He also asked Tim if we were opposed to them placing a g tube. I'm not sure of the difference between the two and after researching i'm glad we said no. That seems a little more long term and I don't want her becoming dependent on a feeding tube for nutrition. The doctor mentioned it would keep her from pulling it out and the ng tube may cause a sinus infection but the could switch the tube from her right to left and vice versa.

Her iron level is 8.2 (hg)and strictly iron 32.5 the doctor said she can't possibly be menstruating at these levels. I am no medical genius but I have no idea what that has to do with anything. He is also wanting to do a bone marrow evaluation if she doesn't respond to the iron treatments. They are testing everything which is scaring me. I'm holding my breath that everything is ok. She's been dealing with this damn anorexia so long I worry how much damage it's done.
