Teryn went down for the GERD study this morning and we are awaiting the results. They are going to try and have her ND put in again today so that she can eat again. They will attempt to do it under xray so they know for sure it is in place.
Her gtube site looks very red again so they have sent off for a culture and gram stain to make sure there is not another infection. Presently they think it is just because her tube leaks some and she has extremely sensitive skin. Hopefully this is the case so she won't have to receive more antibiotics.
I mentioned to the attending this morning my thoughts on the pyloric valve and he said he was wondering the same thing so we will look at the results from the GERD test and if there is trouble again with the ND tube then they may do an ultrasound to check and see if there is a concern with her pyloric valve.
She is receiving yet another IV today because as we have seen....her's will only last a couple days. We are ready to get her back on food so the IVs can go!
Hello Family and Friends. The purpose of Teryn's page is two-fold. First, to keep all of you informed with our progress. Secondly as an outlet for all of the emotions, the great ones and the tough ones. Some entries may have more details than you were looking for...sorry...those are there for me. I believe that you are going to see why every struggle in this experience is worth it as you fall in love with our little girl as we have.
