Waiting Around

The doctors had thought that she was all cleaned out because they suctioned so much out and she had 6 bms but I tried to tell them based on their history that I did not think that she was. For those of you who do not know her full history she has always thrown up when constipated real bad and if she cannot go to the bathroom. They had started the tube feeding back last night because they thought she was cleaned out. Well today she threw up and it smelled and looked like bm like I had told them it had been looking. Sorry a little too much info. Anyway, the nurse came in and said it smells like poop. So the doctor saw it. Right now they are taking her off the tube until she is cleaned out and are giving her a suppository. I plan on asking if maybe her body had gotten adjusted to the laxative that she takes. It is possible that it had and that is why she got so backed up. They are still going to test her for something called Herschsprung Disease which is where some nerve cells in colon do not work properly and causes constipation. It would be a good thing if it was just this backed up problem with a good reason for it and maybe a new medicine for the problem.
