We had a pretty good week this last week. Wyatt was doing pretty well. They had started to up his feedings a little more each day. He wasnt getting any thing orally yet. They were feeding him through a tube that went up his nose and down into his stomach. But Thursday morning he woke up vomiting and looking sick. They had to stop feeding him because there is obviously something not working well.
You can see the little wrap on his hand and the tube in his mouth. They had to put the tube down his mouth to continually suction bile and other things that were backing up. They had to take so much fluid from his stomach and he had gotten so many blood draws for labs that his hematocrit was really low so they had to place an IV to give him some additional fluids and blood (transfusion #7). He was pretty lethargic all day and we could tell he didnt feel good.
They decided to do some more X-rays of his stomach on Friday to measure any distention of bowels. He looked slightly more distended Saturday morning when they took some more images. So they are concerned that there may be an additional blockage of his small intestine. That is seriously the last thing we want to hear. They hope that it is just that his small intestine is just swollen and creating a blockage rather than there actually being a problem. Keep our fingers crossed for that.
Depending on the picture, his hair will look blonde.
We keep praying, thanks for the update!!
