has been able to keep it all down so far. They should start lowering
the nutrition he is receiving through his IV today so that hopefully
he will start feeling more hungry and take a larger amount of milk.
His stool is yellow again so it seems like things are once again
moving through and not getting hung up in his stomach like last week.
At rounds yesterday they said they didn't know if it was all the
narcotics that he was on or the early dc of the narcotic ween that
caused his stomach motility to stop. Ummmm, I can take a stab at that:
Last weekend Evan started taking milk and his stool turned yellow,
things were going really well! He was slowly being weened of the
narcotics and was waking up more everyday. On Monday after the
methadone ween was dc'd prematurely Evan started sleeping and not
wanting to wake up to eat. He started vomiting and his stool turned
green like bile again. Once we finally got his med ween schedule
turned back on Evan started to improve again and is now back to the
same progress as we were at last Monday. Hmmmm, I think maybe the
withdrawal of meds may have set him back, but I'm just sayin ;)
Luckily we are where were at now and hopefully we don't have to look
back ever again (pleeeease!!) Yesterday Dr. Z said if all stays on
track that Evan would be able to get sewn back together mid-May. This
was great news!!
