MUSC Day 4...

Ana did not get above 25cc/hr on pedialyte, so as a last resort they started formula at 25cc/hr. She was also given permission to have food and drink by mouth. She had 4 oz of apple juice and a couple of teaspoons of chicken broth. Shortly after the intake she began leaking stool from the malone and formula from the g-tube stoma. After bowel irrigation and venting of the g-tube, she began to feel better. We then opted to start the feeds back and she is now sick again. For now we will vent and wait on the doctors to come in. Please pray continually about this. We are not ready for her stomach to completely stop working. Pray for healing and pray for God to prepare us for whatever is next...
