Stomach Pumping

Nate had been throwing-up a lot, and they can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Finally by the end of the day they found that he has a partial blockage in his small intestines (this seems to happen to about 40% of people who have a J pouch and their colon removed). Now he has a NG tube to pump his stomache and they will leave it in until his stomach liquids are clear, and then they have to make sure he can eat and then they could look at being able to send him home.
