Saturday 3/26 @ 1pm EST – Ally’s stomach/digestion setback

Short update — Unfortunately, her bowels and digestive tract are actually not working well and it took till yesterday late afternoon to realize since she is fed in her jejunum and not stomach, so Ally is off feeds and back on TPN (IV nutrition) but otherwise still doing EXCELLENT!! This is very common after being on anesthesia from surgery and even with the limited pain meds she is getting. We have a good plan to help her, but it was a setback.

 

She is still in hospital in the TCC unit, room A340. She will have to be back to her normal feedings until we can return home since we live so far. Otherwise we could have been discharged as soon as Monday. It varies greatly how soon we will get her back to normal feedings and for her stomach distention/hardest/bloating to go down. It is a setback but really things are going so well that now that I understand it, I’m not disappointed and know it’s part of the usual things that could happen.

 

I’ll post some pics I took the last couple of days of Ally.

 

Thanks again for your continued prayers, well wishes and support!!!
