Ed and I did get to have a break this afternoon for a couple hours. My sweet cousin stayed with Aimee and we got out of the hospital. It was really refreshing to step away for a bit before the next week begins.
12.17.17 Wound VAC26
Aimee had a bad night last night full of panics and distress. It is hard to know for sure what is going on and how best to advocate for her. We decided to hold steady on her feeds throughout today. She stopped panicking by the afternoon with some valium, ect, but then had some episodes of vomiting (or attempting to) and discomfort. We decided to give her nausea and pain meds, but to then go forward with starting her on small amounts of food through the NJ tube tonight. Hoping that she will tolerate it without major distress with going slow and giving her plenty of adjustment time between each increase. We are a couple hours in at 5mls of food an hour and so far she has not had been upset.
