 Adi pulled out her tube at the luncheon for Grandma’s funeral.   We went up to the hospital that evening to have it re-placed.  The radiologist started putting the tube down her esophagus and all of the sudden Adi couldn’t make any noise.  She was trying to scream out but she couldn’t make a noise.  I instantly knew something was wrong and started asking if she had aspirated or what was happening.  They finally pulled the tube back out and then she was able to breath again.  She tried again and the same thing happened.  She had put the tube down her windpipe twice.  The third time she finally got it down the right tube and got it placed in her intestines.  It was pretty scary and Adi just kept choking and coughing for the next two hours.  It was the worst NJ placement we’ve had yet.
