Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Max is still in the hospital. I ran home to take a break and a shower. He is still not able to eat anything, but they started j- tube feedings after doing a contrast study to make sure everything was okay and in the right place. They started at 25cc/hour and upped it to 50cc/hour after 5 hours. After about 30 minutes, Max began to complain of nausea and started spitting/throwing up again. Back to the 25. We will try upping the rate a bit more slowly in the morning. I had told the residents to up it slowly, but did they listen? No. I'm only the mom who has been through this countless times. Some of them were barely in elementary school when we first started with Max and his pump feedings. (Scary thought, huh?) But Max is in okay spirits, so that is good. I'm comfortable with our single room, so that is good, too. I have to take tomorrow off from work again because there are too many details to work out at the hospital, but on Friday I will be going back. I need a break, too! I do think that Max will go home on Friday evening anyway. At least I hope so! Jodi Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
