Over the weekend he wasn't himself. His tummy has been bugging him with cramps and peristalsis movements causing him discomfort. His feeding tube site has been inflamed, red and bleeding again. Last night he started having fevers throughout the night, shivvering, goosies and gagging that goes with it. When we woke he wan't looking good - looked very pale, fevers and dehydrated.
The paed decided it was best to admit ...him for fluids and an iv antibiotic which will heal him faster than trying at home. With Jason he dehydrates so fast and he doesn't absorb oral meds well. We have a feeling that his old K Pnemonia tube site infection is still there and despite two oral antibiotics he may still have an infection.
The bloods are pointing to a bacterial infection so hopefully the IV antibiotics will do the trick. We started the antibiotic treatment this morning so he's already had his first dose.
He has slept a lot today and been moaning in his sleep. BUT last night he didn't sleep well at all. Hopefully a good nights rest for him and for me.
I haven't fed him at all today as he will just start gagging. The paed agreed with me to give his tummy a rest and some time to heal.
We shall see what tomorrow brings.
