This is Paulina she was in bed 34 next to Azziz who was in bed 33 obviously I guess. Anyhow both of them had mandibulectomys last week and both of them had the exact same incision the exact same dressing and tube feedings and everything. On day 6 of their feeds when they really hate their feeds and wish that we along with Ensure would die. On this particular day during the lunch hour three of the nurses were off the ward eating lunch and three of us were left there. Caroline was feeding Paulina through her feeding tube in her nose, I was helping another patient and the third nurse was trying to get into the locked box of narcotics but was having trouble, meanwhile her patient was screaming in pain. So I left my patient couldn't get it open, so the next thing I know is that Caroline has handed the feeding syring and tube to Paulina and told her to hold it that she would be right back. Well fifteen minutes later we had still be unable to get into the locked box and we had forgotten about Paulina and her feeds.
Caroline and I turned around to find Azziz and Paulia feeding each other, she would take his bottle of feeds and fill up the plunger and then in turn he would do hers. It was hilarious to see them feeding each other, when they saw us watching them they started laughing at us. Well it was funny when it happened. The pictures from above are of her on the day that we removed the feeding tube and she honestly thought that I was the best thing that ever walked the face of the earth. I took out the tube she coughed and then started shouting Praise the Lord, He is Good my nose is healed and the tube is out and I can eat, Oh sista I can eat. She was dancing all over the place. One of the photographers captured the pictures of me taking out the tube they are in reverse order sorry:)
