Our GI appo went well today... they went down on her tpn, she will be getting less and also they went down on her dextrose. She was at 13 and they are going down to 10 I believe but as she advances on her feeds she will even out. Right now she is at 8ccs an hour and advances weekly. Her GI doctor wants me to advance her feeds by 2ccs each week, monday and friday I will bump her 1cc each day. As she tolerates the big number is 350 as long as she is under she is good. As for the NG tube it is coming out she will be getting a GT tube.... her GI doctor said he agrees with me and so he put in all of the papers and requests. Now all I have to do is wait for the surgery clinic to give me a call and set up a surgery date. It will be done labriscopicly by a peds surgeon, but I am sure they have really good surgeons there. It has been 8 months since she has had a surgery, the last one she had was in sept to get a new line and remove her old one. Her GI doctor also wants a upper GI done and a emptying of the stomach as well. I will also be recieving a call for a date for those 2 exams. He told me the last exam of the emptying of the stomach she had it showed that her stomach does not contract but this was in october. She hasnt had any new exams done since then. Her doctor told me he is sure that her stomach does contract now since she is tolerating her feeds and now vomiting it. Well that is all the good news that we got for today... they did not decide to disconnect her for more than 4 hours but thats ok.. I am very satisfied with what happened today.
