I talked with the GI doc this afternoon. He sent us to the hospital for more x rays. I didn't realize this, but just because Eve is having diarrhea doesn't mean she isn't still impacted. She can be still corked up (and not entirely cleaned out...things can sneak by the cork) and that can make her not tolerate her food. So, he'll get the x ray in the morning. In the meantime, we need to run her pump for three hours on and one hour off overnight tonight to give her system periods of rest. So, I'll run it from 6:30-9:30pm and shut it off from 9:30-10:30. Then turn it on until 1:30, etc.
As for her not tolerating her food, he wants to see if it's 'a' problem and not 'the' problem. In otherwords, is there constipation causing her to retch, or is her system shutting down and not tolerating food (which is my fear).
I'm really struggling with this. The worry is a constant weight.
Here's hoping we have a good night tonight.

Thinking of you guys and saying some prayers for Eve! I hope this is just a bump in the road and not a regression. I hope tonight is a better night for all of you.
It keeps saying I am unknown even though I am signed in. Just letting you know you know me:)
