NPO Tuesday

Nope, that's not an exclusive bump acronym for the cool kids. That means Lucas doesn't get to eat today. :((

Puking picked up overnight to the point of dry heaving and he was down another 4oz this morning, so all feeds are stopped and TPN is on the way. We are going day-to-day with it, depending on how he's doing, so hopefully we'll be back on track soon. I think he just got behind after his little surgery on Friday and can't get himself caught up, so this should give him a chance to kind of reset.

Friday's procedure was supposed to be nbd. It's incredibly frustrating that he was doing so well and then < 20 minutes of anesthesia derailed everything.

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts!

We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.

  • Oh no! Poor little guy. And poor you. I know you're probably used to seeing him throw up and stuff but yikes. That just sounds scary to see. I hope the tpn helps him recover. Sorry you have to go through all of this.

    Meimsx no more
  • Awww, I'm sorry, mama. Hoping this passes soon and everything picks up again. Big hug!
  • @Meimsx unfortunately we're used to it :( But at least that means he bounces back from a puke quickly - during his last infection he threw up several oz while the home infusion nurse was here, and she looked at me incredulously and said, "he didn't even cry!" It hadn't even occurred to me that he should cry. He's usually smiling again within minutes bc he feels so much better afterwards.

  • Poor Lucas!
  • @lwrightenator‌ It was a massive vomit that ended in dry heaves after he got quite a bit of liquid out - like his belly was trying to make sure it was really empty. No dry heaves on their own. And no fever so far, and the site looks fine. FX.
