Update
Yesterday we received a call from the NICU about Sayla Grace. Her
belly was looking distended, so they were stopping her feedings.
Not a huge deal. They will stop and start her feedings a lot right
now. They can't risk an infection in her belly if she's having any
trouble digesting. As a result, they also took her TP tube out,
because she had wiggled it out of the right spot.
She was also having trouble pooping again, so they gave her another
glycerin chip tp help her along. One day she's going to be really mad
at me for disclosing her consipation issues with the world!! Sorry
sweetie!!
So they stopped her feedings, and decided to put her on the Nasal
Cannula for the entire night. They did this because the CPAP can push
extra air into her belly. So the thought was that with the NC, her
belly could get a break from all that extra air.
Checked on her this morning while waiting for my turn at the doctors
office. They just put the TP tube back in, and are waiting on the
xray to be sure it's in the right spot. They will resume her feedings
again once they are sure it's in there good.
She's still on the NC, and has only had a few Brady's. But not enough
to put her back on the CPAP.
I'm walking down the hall to see her now (trying not to run into
anything as I type!). If there are any changes, I'll update.
Sorry for the lack of pictures. The computer with the pictures on it
has decided not to connect to the internet the past 3 days!
