Guest guest Posted July 19, 2000 Report Share Posted July 19, 2000 Sorry, Holly. I don't know why, and Joyce didn't either. Dr. R will see her tomorrow and I'm sure will explain lots. I'll post again once I've talked to her and to . I'll let you (and the list) know what I find out. Keep today's group in your prayers! Amy.

That is what the NG tube is used for during surgery, but in the normal case, you do not have it when you come out of surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
