When Eve woke up yesterday she was doing alright.  But when  I gave her Prilosec,  she started gagging and thrusting her tongue out.  Her brow wrinkled and she looked uncomfortable.  So, I gave her Zofran again which seemed to help.  I waited about 20 minutes and gave her the rest of her meds and then sent her to school.  She did well at school. 

The GI called at the end of the afternoon while I was in the grocery store (this always seems to happen!).  He said that the x-ray showed that the tube was in place and that there was a little bit of constipation.  Because she is not retching all of the time, he said he's not comfortable removing the gj tube yet (I didn't know that was on the table).  His recommendation for now is to give her the Prilosec in early afternoon rather than first thing in the morning.  I asked him if she can still have the valium and Prozac in the morning and he said yes.  That doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. 

At 5:30am this morning, Eve woke up.  SHe was doing tongue thrusts and looked uncomfortable.  She emphatically told me she didn't want her leg medicine (Valium).  She said she did want her diaper changed (which was just wet).  She rested after that and was quiet until 7:30. 

So far this morning I have given her the Valium and Prozac and haven't seen any gagging.  Her feeds are going fine.  I'll give her the Prilosec at 1pm. 

Oh, and I called the salesman to get started on the van purchase.  :)
