July 17-18

Addison had a slight set back in her feedings. The nurses check how much is left in her belly via her NG tube before giving her more feedings. She started having too much left in her belly that she was falling behind in her "oral intake". The residual (what was left in her belly) which was pulled back also started looking very bloody so they had to stop feeding her through her tube. She is currently on TPN, Lipids, and IV fluids. If she is unable to tolerate oral feedings through her tube, she will need a PICC line for long term TPN/Lipids. :(
