Day 1 tube feeding

A lovely nurse came in and set up the beginning of Megan's tube feeding. She will start today at 10 mg per hour and they will raise the rate by 10 mg each day. Dr Tomaso came in and he felt she was doing well. They were not seeing anything unexpected. Since her heart rate is elevated, he ordered more saline. He thinks the elevated heartrate might be caused by dehydration. They are monitoring her to see how she reacts to the food. She seems to be resting fairly well right now, though I know she is still in considerable pain.
