First of all thank you all for the kind words that were sent after yesterdays post it was a rough day and I think it helps me to get everything out with this blog. Last night Gabrielle still did not rest well so this morning we got up and put a call in to urology. They scheduled a renal ultrasound and decided to have Gabrielle admitted to start IV fluids. After arriving and talking to Dr. VanderBrink he decided to also order an xray just to make sure that he covered everything. We had both the ultrasound and the xray done this afternoon both Tammie, NP and Dr. VanderBrink stopped by afterward to talk about the results. The xray and ultrasound both came back clear... what a BLESSING! This means that nothing is wrong with Gabby's bladder, kidneys or intestines from the images seen. I can not express to you all enough my excitement about this news. That means that even with the pressure of having her body cavity completely closed with all the organs inside that her kidneys, bladder, and intestines have continued to work properly. We have determined that Gabby is simply suffering from 3 year old-itis. It is very possible that she also having some mild bladder spasms so they added the patch back to help with that. Also we think that her back may be stiff from lying around and not being able to move well so we gave her some ibuprofen. Lastly to help with restlessness they gave her some Melatonin. Lord willing tonight she will get some much needed rest. We will stay in the hospital tonight with her. We also talked to Tammie about the NG feeds. They placed the NG tube back in and have started the feeds back slowly and for shorter periods of time. Bart and I have come to terms with the fact that getting her appetite back may take longer than hoped. Tammie said that she thought the nutritionist had set a goal too high for Gabrielle to obtain being she was already starting with a disadvantage. Hopefully she will be done with the NG feeds by the time we are ready to leave her next month. Continued prayers of Gabrielle's appetite returning are appreciated and that rest finds us all again soon. Much love to you all! A great family member posted this last night and I thought I would share it, it really helped me when I needed it. Thank you again Aunt Gwen.
