Today's update

Quinn had a KUB done (not sure what that is) but it think it was an xray to see if she had an obstruction. it is confirmed, Quinn has a bowel obstruction. She's been off all feeds for hmmm I dunno, about two days now i think. so her belly is getting a rest. They are starting her on this stuff that is suppose to clean out her system. They will be starting it tonight along with some pain meds through her IV. Hopefully that stuff will work immediately so we can get her system cleared. Next, they will do another KUB and make sure that her bowels are cleared. After that, i do believe that we can start her feeds.

Hopefully this will be tomorrow! that would be nice :) PLEASE PLEASE pray that this is what she needed and that her stomach will handle her feedings so we can go home! I don't know what would happen if she doesn't tolerate feedings. we had the dietician come in today and tell me that my daughter is very skinny and off the charts for BMI. honestly, I dont' see why this is a problem because she is growing. She is tall. in like the 90th % for height and she is 35lb. a little below the 50th% for weight. But her height/weight ratio is off the charts low. And they are comparing her growth from all the other times she's been inpatient. They said that it's a significant decrease in BMI. i'm trying to sugar coat it and tell them my family is tall cuz we are and that she hasn't had any food, because she hasn't. but, yeah not sure how that went over. I think as long as she is growing, she's good. either growing tall or wide or both, i'd think growing is growing and that's a good thing.

Honestly, i hate being in the hospital. I just want to go home. I'm tired, I'm all traveled out and I hate the high's and low's the waits and sees. Adn how we NEVER have a definite discharge date. LoL! I was telling Joe today that I wish I could just travel forward and peek into the next few days so i could come back to myself and let myself know what to expect. But, that's impossible. It would be nice though.

anyway, Quinn is doing good thus far. I hope that she's doing good because she's doing good and not because she isn't eating, if you know what I mean.
