12.16.17 Wound VAC25

Not much to report from today. It was calm. Aimee was irritable and slept the whole day after a restless night. Her wound VAC had been alarming about a blockage for a couple hours during the night. We have also had a difficulty with her bipap mask leaking due to the tube into her nose. 

She did make it up to full fluid volume of pedialyte through the NJ tube today.  She has still been coughing and gagging, but we are hoping that is due to the tube in her throat/keeping her upper gi sphincters from closing. The plan is to replace 5mls of pedialyte with her food in the morning. This is a big big step and we are hoping that she will be able to handle it. She needs to eat!
