Well, I am in the ER with Ryan this morning. He still had fluid in his stomach this morning and I knew by looking at it he probably had an ileus. I brought him to the ER I work in since these people are my second family. We did an abdominal xray and he is getting rehydrated with his IV. He has a lot of stool in his lower intestines but I decided to do an enema at home later so it’s less traumatic for him. The radiologist also read his xray and said he does indeed have a mild ileus just
as I expected. I’m hoping we can go home since he is getting rehydrated. I know how to give small amts of Pedialyte in his tube and measure for residuals so I know how much he is absorbing. We can always reassess in the morning and I can take him to the pediatrician if needed. Please continue to pray for complete restoration of his abdomen so we can stay home as a family. I will keep you updated. Hopefully we’ll be heading home in an hour or so.
