So. . .remember when Jackson had surgery for a ureter stent replacement and had more renal pelvis removed with a laser, as well and more sludge removed from his right kidney, as well as a tear duct probe? And then he had a post-op illeus and we were stuck at St. Louis Children's for 8 days?
Well, we've got some familiar occurrences going on today. Jackson vomited from 4am-1:30pm. He is vomiting bile and isn't getting anything by mouth/gtube anymore. He is vomiting old blood from the surgeries but formula never came up, even when he was getting it through his gtube. He is lethargic and sleeping a lot (though that could be from the morphine because he can't get the Tylenol with Codeine anymore). He is pale and his eyes are sunken. Jackson's stomach is getting pumped just like before. We haven't had an abdominal xray to look for an illeus and no labs to check for dehydration but I'm sure they are coming. GI has been consulted.
So much has gone on since overnight I'm at a loss of where to start.
Here's a picture of Jack in his bed. I took this around 1pm.
