Gage turned eight months old on the 3rd. He's still having trouble keeping his feeds down. He just pulled out his NG Tube this morning so mommy took him to the ER to have it placed back in again. Gage won't take his meds without it, so it's pretty important to get it back in as soon as possible. His upper gastrointestinal x-ray looked good apparently and he's still scheduled to get the G Tube placed sometime in the next week or two.
He was vomiting much more last week. There were some days where he only kept a couple of feeds down. This weekend the doctor had us try continuous feeding to try and reduce the chance of a vomiting and losing the nutrients. He basically feeds all day continuously and at a pace that is slow enough to prevent him from having a full stomach. This means he's pretty much glued to his IV pole now.
He seems to be doing better on continuous feeds though. He only up-chucked once in the last 48 hours roughly. He also seems to be less uncomfortable which means more smiles! I added a few photos to the Photography section. I'll have more on the way. I'd like to try adding a video clip as well. Stay tuned!
