Busy Night

Busy night. After we got back from x ray a surgeon came in at 4 to look at her - they are wondering if there is a small obstruction or if she is just not emptying stomach all the way. They did not do the feed at all and are not giving her anything right now. They are using the suction thing that they used on her lungs and they put it on her feeding tube to suck everything out of her stomach. Then they can do a x ray on an empty stomach to look for obstruction. I am hoping no obstruction so she does not have to have surgery but on the other hand if she did it might explain some of the problems she has been having the past month. And if it is a stomach emptying problem I do not know exactly what they do for that. I know there is a med she can take but do not know if she can with her low weight. They started the suction thing at 6 am and we are still working on it. It goes real slow so not to put pressure on the stomach too much. Also she was awake all night - guess all the sleep is catching up to her. She had picked all the tape off her face and just about pulled the tube all the way out.
