Baltimore: Day 31

Well today was a fairly good day. Day 2 without dad of course didn't come without some bumps in the road, but for the most part we are doing well. Robbie spent most of the morning sleeping and watching a little of his favorite Disney shows. However, in what is now becoming typical Robbie fashion he threw up once we tried to give him some Nystatin. I am not thrilled with all this throwing up and I am really looking forward to us getting off tube feeds, I feel without a doubt that is the culprit! Another exciting thing that we had happen today is Robbie still isn't pooping on a regular basis. After a certain point this become concerning and of course we are on day 5 with out a good stool so today was the magic day it became concerning. We have tried giving him a suppository several times over the last 2 days but he keeps pushing them back out. After trying a suppository again today we pretty much got the same result however it also provoked alot of straining and pushing. He spent about an hour or an hour and half pushing today and getting nothing out. Since the suppository wasn't successful we decided to do an enema. Unfortunately, the enema made him do some more pushing and straining which caused him to puke again. Not the result we were looking for! After some more straining and pushing we eventually got something stool out but it didn't come with out some concern from mom. All of the straining put a LOT of pressure on his bladder area. I feel like things look or looked slightly different after all that pushing. We had urology come down and look at things and they felt it looked ok, but the will have Dr. G. evaluate it again tomorrow. I am hopeful that things will be ok, but it was a tense hour or so here! So please pray that he will start unleashing the poop for us tonight and tomorrow so we can move past the is poop stress!
Tomorrow Grandpa comes. Robbie will be excited to see him and I know I will enjoy having the company!
Thanks again for all the prayers and continue support! We are so appreciative!!
