12.3.17 Wound VAC9

Negative results from all the stool samples, so that is ruled out. X-ray showed a giant air bubble in her small intestine, which could contribute to slowing motility down. We met with some GI doctors this afternoon, unfortunately not her doctors that already know her. They want us to add an extra enima today and tomorrow in addition to her c-tube flush to see if we can move that bubble out. They are also going to check her pancreas and gallbladder for swelling and other issues to see if that is the problem. Aimee is no longer even tolerating the 10mls an hour of pediatlyte. She has had 3 episodes of reflux so far today causing vomiting/emptying her stomach. Some meds lost that way, but no critical ones. Her stomach is somewhat bloated, but has good sounds. Poor girl is pretty tired at this point.
