Go Lytely

I am sitting here with Kellen at Sutter Memorial Hospital where he has been for the past day and a half. He is in the hospital for many reasons but one of the solutions is to do a "clean-out" while he is here. So yesterday the inserted an NG tube (or feeding tube). They are continuously giving him "Go-Lytely" through his tube and then it is supposed to be making him have to use the potty often (trying to keep my blogs G rating). We think the name Go-Lytely is stupid so we have made up a few of our own (We are bored, tired, and he feels pretty crummy). We are going to send them to the manufacturer right after we email the hospital and explain they could make all of this a little easier by installing a flat screen TV on the bathroom wall for those who are made to spend a large amount of time in there. Here they are:
Go often
Go heavy
Go chunky
Go lots
Go stinky
Go to the bathroom
Go runny
Go away
and our favorite...... Go lotsly!!
We will get back to more boredom, sleepiness, and for Kellen more yuckyness. Little does he know this is only the first of MANY things he is going to go through before he gets better. We have to find the fun where it is, especially when it is not very fun at all!
