12:00 (noon) Mom had a rough early morning, she woke up and was confused where she was, could'nt find a light and she ended up pulling her PIC IV line out about 5:00am. They put in a regular IV line in. The group of doctors were in about 9:00am. The results of the Gastric Emptying Study done on Monday, showed her stomach moves at a very slow pace, they started her on medication to get it to move quicker. Her Small Intestine also moves very slowly. She was already on medication to get it moving quicker. They are still talking about possibly doing a BTM if needed in place of the Echocardiogram that was cancelled yesterday.
We currently are down getting the J Tube (Feeding Tube) looked at. They believe it is either feeding back around to the wrong place or is getting caught on top of the stomach when her sliding hiatel hernia moves. They are going to feed a wire through the tube to see if it can be repositioned, if that doesn't work, they replace the entire tube. Not a huge deal as this one has been in long enough to go back in the same opening.
She was up to 45cc's per hour on her feeding tube, and maintaining it well. The goal is to get her to 60cc for her age and size.
Let you know more later. Again posted by Sue
Great job mom! I'm glad that they are able to increase your feeding tube. I love you.
