After receiving the order that the Anderson tube could be removed (the tube going down Etta's nose and into her stomach to suction fluid), the nurse got her supplies ready, gloved up, and started to talk about how happy Etta would be when the tube was removed. She warned us that Etta may hate her for a moment, but would be grateful to have the tube gone. Admist this "boring" adult conversation, Etta literally take matters into her own hands, and snuck her right hand across her face, grabbed, and pulled. Before we could react, Etta had removed her own Anderson tube. And the nurse was right...she is much happier!!
She looks so happy! That must make you feel so good.
