Autumn back in hospital, now with ng tube

[Guest guest]

Autumn came home tuesday from the hospital and didn't get better. She

came back to hospital yesterday and just got a ng ube to go home on

feeds until her g-tube on nov 7...we tried to up datge of surgery but

surgeon was out of town and he is the only one here who does it the

new laproscopy (wrong spelling) way. Anyways, she is also on iv

fluids and now ng and we are trying to get her to handle it..she

throws up from the tube in her throat. She looks really bad and we

are trying to get her health back. This is all the result of a simple

cold, I still can't believeit. it is surreal.

I am sorry to hear that Autumn is having such a terrible time. This

is such an awful time of year. Our kids are lucky if they aren't

sick. I actually thought was going to get by with missing his

brothers Tracheitis, but no such luck. He is hit hard and I even had

to take him to the doctor today. He had a difficult time last night

with coughing so hard and it caused him to have some breathing

distress. I was so scared, but I finally got him settled down. I

really hope Autumn gets better soon and the G tube surgery is

uneventful. You will be so relieved once she has it. It is hard to

accept at first, and a little scary, but it will be okay. Hopefully

it will help her out when she is sick when she doesn't feel like

eating.

Keep us updated,

Jodi R.

I don't understand.... Is Autumn at home or in the hospital? If she

is home, she is also on IV? I understand about the ng tube. I hope

you are leaving it in all the time. Putting it in and taking it out

really causes a lot of irritation and discomfort. We used to leave

Max's in for days at a time. It was so much easier on him - and me

since I was the one to place it each time. Oh, I hated doing that

more than anything.

She is still in the hospital.

they just took out the iv and we hopefully will go home tomorrow.

We are leaving the tube in.

She throws up too much wen it first goes in for a few hours and again

when it comes out so we decided just to keep it in.

She is a little used to it today and doing well on feeds. She has

gagged and thrown up some from it irritating her today,but not as much

as at first.

Thanks Jodi. I hope your boys are doing better today, it sounds

pretty scary with what went through.

Hi ,

Wow, you are a trooper. This experience sounds so trying. We are hoping this

is over for you very soon. I can't imagine, I haven't experienced hospital stays

or anything.

Thinking of you, and dear Autumn.
