I apologize for not updating this sooner but we have been very busy.  Shelby began to have bouts of nausea Sunday evening. We changed her feeding from the gastric tube to the jejunal tube hoping this would help. Vomiting stopped but dry heaves took their place. Unable to keep much fluid in her she began to dehydrate and her stomach distended.  After talking to the on call doctor by phone we took her to the ER on just before midnight on the Tuesday. X rays, CT scans and ultrasound show what internal med, gastroenterologists and surgeons are thinking is a partial bowel obstruction.  They are taking a very cautious approach to treating and giving her body time to clear the obstructions without surgical intervention. She is showing improvements. She is no longer in pain and the nausea seems to have subsided. No time frame for discharge but no one is in a hurry. They keep her hydrated with the use of an IV. She has had no nutrition since Tuesday and according to the doc's she will not have any introduced into either G or J tube for until at least Sunday.

We will try to keep  everyone updated.  Thank you for the prayers we are confident are going out for all of us!

Just,
a very tired Sue
