In The Words of Dad

October 21/22, 2011. They stopped feeding Logan today. They thought they saw a dilated loop. Let me address the track record with such things: Last time someone thought they saw a dilated loop one of the other doctors looked at the same x-ray the other doctor had and said "I don't see it. Not sure what he is talking about."

Logan is cranky - not eating for a day'll do that to a fellow. His one comfort in life right now is his pacifier. If it falls out (which it does for many reasons) he goes ballistic. His swing was enough at first, then the hunger got to the point that it was causing him physical discomfort.

The other things that bothered them this week, and led to this decision include (but are not limited to) an increased amount of output from his "home-made stoma," increase in vomiting, an increased girth. All of which happened after the transition from 14cc/hr to 16cc/hr continuous feeds - which one of the doctors warned us would happen a couple weeks back at the care conference.

Oh dear lord, my son is being cared for by people who don't know how to read each other's notes. God, if you check blogs: get your smiting boots on.
