Ugh. Today did not start off well. At about 4am, I heard Maddy making strange noises in her crib. About the same time, the nurse came in to do her vitals. We were both standing there watching Maddy because she just seemed off. She was salivating and bubbling at the mouth, and her nose sounded really congested. All of the sudden Maddy throws up, so we get her cleaned up and Maddy throws up again...this continues a total of 6 times. Which was hard for me to understand because she was barely getting any milk in her tummy to begin with so what exactly was she throwing up?
The doctors decided to stop all the feeds and give her body a chance to recover a bit. They also ordered another x-ray to see what she has going on in her tummy. Thankfully the x-rays showed no blockages, but it did show that she still has lots of air and gas in her intestines and bowels. Originally, some of her doctors said they wanted to do a study on her which involves putting barium in her body and then taking x-rays throughout the day to see where the substance has traveled through the body. I wasn't too excited about this because I just thought her body could use a break. Thankfully, our favorite one of her surgeons, Dr. Avansino said he wanted to give her body a break for the day and to hold off on the study. So now we just wait.
