The Plan

Okay, here is what we found out so far and what they have planned. As expected, the stomach is not strong enough to squeeze out food and stuff like it should. They did not get to do the gastric enema test they wanted to do because of waiting to get all the barium out from the other test. They plan on doing that tomorrow. This is the plan so far. They are giving her a medicine - not yet started- to help her stomach contract to move things along better. They are going to keep tube feedings and eventually cut out the nutrition she has been getting through veins. Their plan is to take baby steps to getting her to try to eat by mouth. They seem to think that the medicine will help her stomach do what it is supposed to do. They seem to think that it may be an underlying problem due to her low muscle tone. Please continue to keep her in your prayers that it will help and that she will be able to tolerate feeds and eventually eat solids. Also pray for Jeff and help him to understand that they are doing what they can do and that tests take time.
