Riley has been having a rough time since mid day yesterday, she has an insatiable appetite/thirst...and CONSTANTLY wants to be eating and drinking. They said she could have whatever we wanted but we have tried to limit her because she would get out of control. Now she is all "bloated" for lack of a better term (ileus?)...a side effect of all the anesthesia (3 MRI's and her surgery) and the narcotic pain meds she's gotten since surgery. So now she can't eat or drink anything til that sorts itself out. They x-rayed her belly this morning to make sure that's all it is. She was up all night whining in discomfort, and asking for her cup or a cookie the whole time. Finally Jenni and Riley both fell asleep about 10am, hopefully they will sleep for a while, then were supposed to get her up and about to work out some of that air out of her gut.
The good thing...even with stuff her face, she has not vomited. Wow. I'm still hoping she can avoid another surgery.

Jenni,
ReplyDeleteI met you in Nov. when Leilani and I came to your house for mops (I'm her mom) She sent me your blog and I have been praying for Riley and your family. It is painful to read about all you are experiencing but encouraging to know you are holding fast to Christ. I will continue to pray.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - what a roller coaster you've been on. I hope tonight is much calmer, comfortable, and peaceful for all of you. I think about Avery alot and hope that she is doing okay through all of this. I hope all of you will be able to go home soon. Take care - Chris
