9.19.17 Cecostomy 5

Aimee had a pretty great night. A little low on oxygen compared to her normal and really low bloodpressures, which caused some stirring in the middle of the night with a risk assessment team. This is a tiny higher this morning. She also has not yet urinated on her own and when I have cathed her, there has not been much urine at all. They have added a larger dose of IV fluids and she has really perked up this morning. Amazing what hydration can do. We are hoping that at some point today we will be able to start her on slow doses of fluids through her g-tube. She does not seem to be having any pain, so once we learn about the care of the c-tube, maintain a good blood pressure, finish antibiotics, and get her tolerating normal feedings, we can take her home.
