The feeds are up to 40mls an hour and TPN 20mls an hour. Tomorrow we stop the TPN and the peg feeds go up to 60mls an hour. We will see how his stomach reacts to that. I am really hoping that I am wrong but as I said to Dr. P this is what I have been dealing with at home. Feed him, his temperature shoots up, he starts gagging and almost instantly poos. It's crazy. BUT I mustn't jump the gun and lets see what tomorrow brings.
Woodie goes everywhere with Jason Last night temperatures started again 38.6 and continued throughout the day. Also loose stools are back and the tummy "alien" where his stomach makes a noise and you see the movements from one side to the other. To me my "gut feel" is that it is the feeds, the peg feeds. He has been fine until we increased the peg formula feeds so to me his body is rejecting the feeds. I could be wrong but this is my gut feel. He was wheezing last night and very chesty this morning. This could also be a reason. Dr. P ordered more bloods and a blood culture to be done. The full bloods came back with nothing unusual infection wise but Dr. P seems to think it is a secondary infection as the mucous that is being suctioned out of his nose and throat is yellow in color. We have changed meds a bit and added another antibiotic for this. Besides the temperatures today he seemed fine. He had physio this morning and this afternoon and is sounding a lot better.
