Audra never seems to do things the easy way...for herself or her doctors!
...never by the books
...never the usual course
...always her own way, which is often the difficult way!
Poor girl, one of these days she needs to give herself (and her doctors) a break!
Today Audra continues to not tolerate having ANYTHING in her belly. Not even sips. It all comes back up. And she has spent most of the day sleeping...in her stroller of course!
She is not walking.
She is not talking.
She is not playing.
At first there was some concern that she might be having a complication from her procedure yesterday. Big, bad things...like bleeding or perforations.
Thankfully, all of those things have been ruled out today after x-rays and ultrasounds.
Clinically, she appears to have an ileus (sleepy intestines) just like she had after her malrotation surgery in November. That time it lasted for NINE days. We are praying that this time her tummy will wake up and cooperate in just another day or two.
For now, she has a tube in her nose draining her stomach. And they are giving her medicines in her IV to prevent nausea and protect her stomach lining, which looked so inflamed during the endoscopy yesterday.
All we can do now is wait.
Hoping to get the biopsy results tomorrow...which may make this whole process worth it in the end.
Fingers crossed.
