Hospital Stay Update #1

We got to admitting @ 9 am this morning, didn't get into a room until about 1pm. To make matters even more annoying we are sharing a room. We have never shared a room so far, I guess they are super-full. Supposedly we are on "the list" to get a private room. Our roomies might be discharged tomorrow. So hopefully that happens.

Ayla has been up all day with nothing to eat. She has been quite happy though to have her Popsicle's and juice. She has just fallen asleep and it's late in the afternoon- this is sure to make for an awesome night! But with our Spanish-speaking neighbors she's sure to be awaken soon :)

I know your like " So tell us what's going on..already!" Here it is....

Dr G. (Head of GI) came in about 3pm and said that he thinks we need to clean her out slowly...by means of a feeding tube (through her nose) giving her a small amount of some "Go-Lightly" stuff every hour. She will then go NPO (nothing to eat or drink) at midnight Tuesday. Hopefully early Wednesday morning we will do the repeat Upper-GI and have answers that day of what's to come. They suspect a narrowing and if it's confirmed will require surgery.

For those of you who know Ayla- understand how good her memory is and she knows exactly whats going on here, and she doesn't like it! She is anticipating an IV and her "nose" as she calls the NG tube. She is going to just freak-out when they give it to her. I am trying to prepare her for what's to come and not just pretend it away.

She knows it's (the nose) coming and was upset, so she went to sleep. So Tuesday will be a day of mostly waiting and dealing with a mad, uncomfortable, hungry, tired, bored & bossy 2 year old!

That's the update for now, I will keep them coming.

Please pray for a soon discharge for our neighbors, sleep, and answers!

Thanks,
