Not Feeling So Great These Days!!!

10/3/2008

Although you may see him out and about... Devin's not feeling all that great these days. He's having an increase in belly pain, his feeding tube site it raw, he has diarrhea, and is not tolerating any feeds. Medically their is nothing more we can do for Devin. Today we did some blood work to make sure he doesn't have an infection brewing and we repeated his liver lad work. During the beginning of the week his numbers were more elevated then normal. We also started him on IV Flagyl, which is a medication to help with the bacteria in his bowel and IV Reglan, which helps with the motility of the bowel.
We are coming into a very difficult time of year between colds and flu. Any of these viral and bacterial illnesses can be extremely hard on Devin and possibly life threatening. So as we try to balance his normal health issues we pray that he does not pick up anything else. PLEASE!! keep praying for Devin..
