Aimee and I had a fairly rough start to our day. Our night nurse was new and kept emptying the ostomy bag throughout the night every two hours and then flushing the contents in the toilet. The hospital toilets are so loud that it woke both of us up every two hours throughout the night. I believe Starbucks paid her to do that so I would drink more coffee. 

Our day was fairly quiet. We did manage to clamp the NG suction for a total of four hours today. Aimee definitely had increased secretions that required suctioning during those four hours and after. She did ended up vomiting about an hour after we unclamped. We will try again tomorrow to clamp for another four hours and see how she responds.
