GI Department

Hi everybody – just a short update to let you know that we took Daniel to the ER early on Sunday and were finally admitted to the GI department in the afternoon. Daniel is getting a medicine called GoLytely, the same stuff you take before a colonoscopy. He has been getting it since 11pm last night and hasn’t had a bowel movement yet. He’s getting fluids, electrolytes and sugar through an IV. He’s been sleeping most of the time and we’re a little concerned about that. His glucose levels were very low (50) yesterday afternoon and he isn’t taking anything by mouth right now. The doctors are concerned about refeeding syndrome so it’s one step at a time as we try to get him stable and on the path to healing. We’re learning for the first time how to juggle hospital stays with Jordan unable to go to a babysitter and the three girls gentle, loving, but bored after awhile. Thank you for praying!
