Calculated today and Aimee has been here at Children’s for 3 weeks out of the past 6. That has taken a lot of help from family and friends to care for the animals and for Caleb, Elliot, Wallie, and Louisa. Thank you for helping us. Thank you for all your prayers and encouragements. Thank you for being on Aimee’s team.
7.3.21 Inpatient 5
Good day today overall. Aimee is awake. Irritable, but mostly awake. She has been having stomach cramps, but I’m not sure if it is her trying to finally clear out her colon or if it is something else. It is 6 weeks post ileostomy surgery and we still haven’t seen the colon empty out. A tiny smear last night after cramping made me think maybe that is causing some of her distress. However, we also increased her food intake a bit more today, so she could be cramping from that. She is still having too much output in her ostomy, so still reliant on IV fluids to stay hydrated. She is hydrated though!!
